"[SME staff] have a greater line of sight to the purpose of the business, to the leadership team and to knowledge they are adding value."
Christine Khor, Founder, Chorus Executive“The reason why is [SME staff] have a greater line of sight to the purpose of the business, to the leadership team and knowing they are adding value,” she said. “For large organisations, it is much harder. “

“You need to have a strong leadership team that actually are brave in themselves,” she said. “That are making hard decisions, that are making right decisions, that are making worthy decisions.”
She also touched on the age of corporate individualism and the importance of being aware of your own career path. Watch the video above to find out more.
