Answer to Question 1

Communication styles are a practical way of understanding your own and others' frames of reference and tendencies. Private style communicators are more comfortable working with things than people. Dominant style communicators thrive in situations where they can demonstrate their expertise and experience. Sociable style communicators are interested in people, good listeners, and generally well liked; avoid conflict; and may limit what they share, hiding true feelings. Open style communicators are equally interested in people's needs and company productivity and are most appreciative of other people.

Answer to Question 2

One strategies for reaching consensus are: clarify the situation, urge the person to set aside the conflicting solutions, identify new solutions, join the person or group in comparing the original solutions. Other strategies include compromise, mediation, and force.
