Crisis management of e-mails
adds to the flood of e-mails
This crisis management results in more e-mails as
people engage in frustrating exchanges about why
the responses aren’t forthcoming.  The sender’s
needs may change in the interim so additional e-
mails are necessary when the response is no longer
sufficient.  And the e-mails written in haste to clean
out the in-box are more likely to be poorly written,
cryptic, and incomplete, resulting in more e-mail
exchanges for clarification and additional
information.
