Communication

In a 3 4-page report, explain current research on male and female communication styles. Specifically, differentiate between male and female communication styles and leadership behaviors. Respond to the following:

• What impact does this have on workplace communication and interaction?
• Do our communication styles differ depending on our personal and professional environments?
• Do your personal workplace experiences either align or contradict the research outcomes? Discuss.

Use the Capella library to locate current journal articles on male and female communication styles. (See the Course Library Guide in the Resources.) Reference at least four resources, most of which should come from the Capella library. Note: If you use Internet sources, they must be credible. For example, Wikipedia and YouTube are not credible resources.

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

For the following questions, you may want to refer to the Resources for links to the resources by Lieberman and by Ivanov and Werner:

• How would you describe male and female communication styles?
• What impact do male and female communication styles have on the workplace?
• Do all males have the same sex chromosomes?
• How does this relate to our communication style?
