Good communication isn’t just about talking more—it’s about talking better. It involves being present with your coworkers and colleagues, hearing not just their words but the intentions behind them.

From Conflict to Collaboration: The Power of Effective Workplace Communication
When communication breaks down, misunderstandings multiply. Small issues can snowball into major conflicts simply because they weren’t addressed openly and respectfully.
