How much does it impact your company?Within companies, communication is one of the most important soft-skills that any employee needs to master. It's also one of the most underrated soft-skills, as it's hard to tie it to the direct gain and measurable results.

It is often also an overwhelming subject as it consists out of several categories: Self-awareness of the employees, understanding of contrasting social natures from others, and knowing how to adapt your behavior. There are ways to learn/develop this skill and even make it measurable in comparison to your success.
