    #13: CEOs have your communication skills & experience kept pace with your organisation's growth?

    When undergoing rapid change its easy for your communication skills to get left behind. What worked when you were speaking to 20 or 50 people no longer applies when its 150, 300 or more. Presentation skills are great for delivering information, but when the stakes get higher and you need to be able to persuade those you lead... Jonathan. www.thecommunicationdirector.com

    #8: Senior leaders do you step into your employee's world to communicate with them?
