His listening skills leave something to be desired as well.” “She’s so quiet in meetings. I just don’t get it. I’ve tried asking her questions directly, and that only makes it worse. I’m at a loss.

Without a solid understanding of communication styles and preferences, people are left to navigate without much guidance.
