My weakness and it’s solution
I have come to realise that communication is a weakness for me.
What do I mean?
It seems that I can’t help making assumptions about other peoples knowledge of the net. I always assume too much.
I often go off at a tangent in my thinking and run ahead with a project without a proper buy-in from others.
For this I apologise.
The solution!
The solution is remarkably simple. The answer was given to me by Tom Jones of Cherizena Coffee. Just get on the phone and speak. Emails are no good.
Why are emails no good? Because we write them in sloppy English, they are after all, not novels. Sloppy English can be read in different voices. So a funny comment by you in an email seems like an angry outburst to a reader. A concern raised can come across as a criticism. A slight nudge to action can appear like a command.
PLUS: The final nail in the coffin, email tennis, the inevitable consequence of lengthy electronic communication.
So from now on, the telephone is once again my friend, and my inbox (stuffed to the rafters as it is) will become a secondary form of communication.
Paul.
