Cut to the Chase
Have you noticed how some co-workers just can't be succinct when responding to an email request for information? Here are 5 reasons for keeping answers clear and concise when communicating .
2. They're busy.
3. There is a deadline.
4. No one wants to hear about everything else you're working on (and writing at length about it only makes you look like you're wasting time).
5. Making others decipher long convoluted responses is bound to lead to confusion and mistakes.
Practice being straightforward and specific when answering emails or giving verbal responses about work projects. Take the time to read and understand the question, then craft your response in a clear way.
Feel free to share this post with someone who needs a little help. Everyone will be grateful.
