These behaviors help us understand our own style of communication. In addition, it enables each person to understand the other 3 types of behavioral styles and thus communication styles. Through knowing yourself and understanding others, we can now learn to flex or adapt to other styles. The result of this adaptation or flex is better team dynamics, better overall work product, more satisfied employees and more satisfied customers. In a veterinary clinic, improved understanding surrounding communication results in better medicine. And better medicine is better business!
