Break Free From Technology and Start Communicating!

Posted on | November 3, 2008 | No Comments

I am steaming mad!

Increasingly I find my self dealing with managers who are dependent on technology, think BlackBerry, but are absolutely pathetic communicators!

If you do not plan to answer email please use the auto responder built into your email service to let me know that you have no plan to respond!  BUT if this is going to be the case please don’t read your email on that hand held treasure when we are meeting!

SMS!  If you don’t like it, don’t read it. or don’t plan to respond EVER can you let me know!

Why are so many companies, public and private, finding themselves in precarious situations today? Crap communication skills by those who will make the venture sink or swim!

The point?

COMMUNICATE! Set aside a specific time in the day to answer email and SMS or hey here is a good idea just pick up the phone!

COMMUNICATE!  And if you cannot then assign someone else to do that part of your job!  Outsource!

Enough is enough…
