Communication Styles - HTML
Communication styles refer to the characteristic methods individuals use when sharing information and expressing opinions or emotions with others. They are primarily classified into four types: Assertive (appropriate self-expression), Passive (non-assertive), Aggressive (hostile), and Passive-Aggressive (indirect). Each style significantly impacts the quality of interpersonal relationships and workplace productivity. In particular, assertive communication is widely recognized as an ideal style that balances self-assertion with respect for others, enabling constructive dialogue.
