What communication style did Genghis Khan use?

Genghis Khan was a man of open communication. Open communication is basically two-way communication that involves the ability to communicate with both a superior and a subordinate. He used communication on the battlefield to conduct strategies that help him win. These strategies were easily conducted and well thought out as he was one of the only leaders that actually fight on the battlefield which could give him a hands-on approach and much experience.

The Mongols were the first modern army because of their strategies and weapons that were used. Genghis Khan communicated very well and through it he actually started the army itself, gaining followers and discussing strategy to invade. His method of communication helped him to achieve that edge on the battlefield and could be the main reason that he created one of the largest empires in the world at the time.

I feel that his experience on the battlefield has led to a much better strategical approach in his invasions that could be his advantage compared to other leaders that did not have.
