In teams, misunderstandings arise not only from what is shared, but from the timing, manner, and intention of sharing. How do the different styles approach this?

D-style

Keeps information objective and goal-oriented.
May unintentionally exclude others by sharing minimal context.
Team tip: Explicitly state what should be shared to maintain team pace.

I-style

Shares easily and involves others quickly.
May overstep colleagues’ boundaries without realising it.
Team tip: Before sharing, consider whether it is relevant to the team or mostly personal.

S-style

Respects everyone’s privacy and poses few questions.
Sometimes they keep concerns to themselves for too long, which hinders collaboration.
Team tip: Agree that it is safe to share doubts and needs.

C-style

Handles information and confidentiality carefully.
Can come across as closed, prompting others to fill in the gaps.
Team tip: Provide progress updates from time to time, even if the content isn’t finalised.
