Communication Styles

We learned about 4 different communication styles: controlling, advocating, analyzing, and facilitating. The styles are based on where we land in the spectrum of power/dominance and emotion/openness. Those who are assertive and reserved are considered to have a controlling communication style, while those who are assertive and responsive have an advocating one. Those who are receptive and reserved have an analyzing style while those who are receptive and responsive have a facilitating one. Based on my report (generated from answers of my colleagues and myself ) I have an analyzing style. This seemed to explain some of the issues I have at work. As someone with an analyzing style, I love rules and protocols and I ask a lot of clarifying questions. I just honestly believe that if everything is well planned, we won’t have as many problems. It was brought to my attention multiple times that this style comes across as me being rigid. When thinking about my colleagues, I noted that many have controlling or advocating style. Is it the difference in our styles that is causing this friction? I did wonder if by asking questions, it is perceived as if I am taking power away from my colleagues with controlling or advocating style.
