Sometimes it’s obvious immediately and other times it can take a while before the cracks begin to show. And it’s especially prevalent in SMEs as they begin to grow.

Disconnects between bosses and employees, however they arise, can be a serious drag – on productivity, on morale, and even on the bottom line.

And leaving communication issues unchecked is never a good plan.

All of which is why I’m delighted to share an interview with SME business coach, Mary Corbett completed at a recent Professional Speaking Association event in Dublin.
