    Have you ever been frustrated with others and you tend to see them as “difficult” rather than “different”? If so, it might just be because their communication preferences and needs are different from yours. Individual, team and organizational success is dependent on the ability of people to work together in trusted and respectful relationships regardless of behavior styles and communication preferences.
