In this book were going to be talking about the 2 predominant and powerful communication styles which should improve your effectiveness as a communicator, persuader or as a leader. Especially CRUCIAL to folks entering a new group of people where the perfect calibration of strength and approachability is crucial in gaining a solid foothold in the group.

People are too hung up on techniques and tactics without realizing there are actually 2 styles of communication one could shift into, to hit the sweet spot 'and maximize communication and relationship effectiveness not to mention persuasiveness and compliance, from your peers and subordinates! Choosing the wrong one at the wrong time or to the wrong people? You lose respect, authority and they won't follow or believe anything you say! Even worse…they'll shun you out PERMANENTLY for coming in too strong or too weak and mis-calibrated!
