Manuscript Road Trip: In Otto Ege’s Footsteps
Let’s talk about Email Etiquette @ Work
We understand the massive amount of emails received in a day.
However, it’s important for those sending emails (especially your supervisor) to get responses back in a timely manner (same day response).
Attached are a collection of HBR articles regarding email etiquette, which includes tips on how to write a better email, how to stop email from controlling your day and more.
One has a video on YouTube here!
TIP#1: It’s important and respectful to address the person you are sending the email to. Otherwise the receipent may not read it (or get back in a timely way) since it’s not really addressed to them. Why wouldn’t you use their name?
TIP#2: If you wouldn’t publish/write it on the front page of the NYT don’t put it in an email.
TIP #3: There’s no need to send an email outside of business hours now that you can schedule your email to be sent when you want. Ask Michael McFarlin if you don’t know how or look here for instructions.
