• The ability to recover from set-backs

• The strength to live with uncertainty

• Learning to grow, not crumble, through adversity

Effective communication is the lifeblood of any successful team. But it doesn't happen in a vacuum; it's influenced by each team member's unique style. Whether you're a senior leader, or a new starter, understanding your colleagues’ communication styles can make a dramatic difference to your daily interactions, which in turn produces a harmonious and productive work environment.
