Communicate
Use most direct form of communication available.
Especially if many questions open, try to arrange a call instead.
E-Mails
same as clean code applies: a single, minimal purpose. structure cleanly without repetitions.
content:
- introduce by responding to previous email /events or introduce self (if first email).
- write short answer (actionable advice / help) which potentially resolves conversation.
- future steps / easy call to action
mirror:
- choose the same form of anrede/gruss like your conversation partner.
- adapt the tone / formality to your conversation partner.
- respond at similar times / at least working times.
respond within 24 hours or ensure the conversation partner receives a notice when a response can be expected.
get back to people if no response received in 72h.
Presentations
adapt length & depth to the audience. ensure the moment is right (if in doubt, ask).
make it look stunning. send drafts to target audience to involve them in specification.
