Putting limits on e‑mail contents
nIf the business person
finished each day with an empty in-box, he or she would have to tell
the person regularly sending e‑mails containing unnecessary information or requests
what the problems are with the e‑mails. That would put the business person’s objections on the table
so the sender and receiver could deal with them. In the end, it would result in fewer e‑mails and
less frustration.
As
the corporate culture matured through regular discussions of the
contents of e‑mails, the issues would come up less and
less frequently. Everyone would share the same
perspective and the culture would deal with the problem by evolving. Everyone would follow the same
guidelines.
