It was book report day. Brian gave an excellent report on a book about email etiquette. I think it was called Send. Soon as he posts his review, I'll give you the link.
Here's a sample. Before you send an email, think about this acronym:
S: Simple-keep it simple.
E: Effective-make sure you said what you intended to say.
N: Necessary- does this email need to be sent at all?
D: Done-be sure you know the consequences of the email...what it will require you to do...what it will require the receiver to do. SEND.
I think companies should get serious about email etiquette policy. It's such a huge part of how we communicate now.
