Communication Tips for Email

Everyone needs an email buddy.  

We’ve all experienced emails we wish we could take back…or wish we had never received.  From time to time, everyone deals with sensitive subjects that when communicated by email have the potential to absolutely explode if not worded correctly.  Identify an email buddy who is willing to review and provide honest evaluation to your sensitive emails before sending.  This simple tactic could save you a lot of grief in the long run.  Make sure your email buddy is someone you trust and can confide in fully.  More importantly, select someone who is going to shoot straight with you and won’t be afraid to tell you when an email could cause problems, and who will openly suggest changes.
