The Quick Draw
“Deal with it now.”
A person with this communication style is often someone who is decisive and responsive, the type whose messages don't sit unanswered for long. That speed serves them well in fast-moving situations, but it removes one of communication's most valuable tools: reflection. What they gain in responsiveness, they can lose in consideration.
