4. Shameless Self-Promotion
Good morning and I hope you are enjoying a day off and celebrating President's Day.  
 
Email can be dramatically overused and many times the tone of an email message is misunderstood.  This leads to a loss of productivity and sometimes, a strain in relationships.
 
This week we look at the written word and how leaders use memos and email.
 
Tim Schneider
Thought for the Week:
 
The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in shock-proof s**t detector.
Ernest Hemingway
 
 
Week 7 Refresher-
The Written Word
 
1.  Do you sometimes use email as an avoidance strategy?
 
2.  Have you ever read an email or memo and thought the sender was angry?
 
3.  What is comprehension or your writing like in the year 2010?  Does your team get what you are trying to say?
 
4.  What happens to your demeanor and attitude when you receive an "Effective Immediately" or "Very Urgent" note?
 
Please review the refresher about the Written Word here:
