Personal
In a company that favors personal communication, the focus is on building connections and fostering a sense of empathy among team members. Personal communicators value emotion and feelings and are skilled at using language that resonates with others on a personal level. They prioritize active listening, seeking to understand the perspectives and feelings of those around them.

Benefits of an Personal Communication Style
Stronger Team Cohesion:
A personal communication style can foster a sense of community and teamwork within the organization. It encourages strong interpersonal relationships, which can improve cooperation and collaboration.
Employee Engagement and Satisfaction:
The personal style often involves showing appreciation and acknowledging individual contributions, which can lead to greater employee engagement, satisfaction, and increased morale.
Conflict Resolution:
Personal communicators tend to be good listeners and empathizers. This can be beneficial in resolving conflicts and addressing employee concerns in a compassionate and understanding way, promoting a harmonious workplace environment.
Challenges of an Personal Communication Style
Subjectivity and Bias:
A personal communication style prioritizes emotional understanding and personal relationships, which could potentially lead to subjective decision-making or biases. Decisions might be influenced more by personal feelings or relationships rather than objective data when a company embraces a personal communication style.
Potential for Misunderstandings:
While the emphasis on personal connection can build strong relationships, it may also lead to misinterpretations or confusion if personal anecdotes, humor, or indirect language is misunderstood.
Boundary Issues:
There can be challenges in maintaining professional boundaries when a personal communication style is adopted organization-wide. Personal issues might seep into the workplace, potentially impacting productivity and professionalism.
