Puzzlebird: The message below is from a respective leader in my company. I am not able to quote who, but he is one of my idols in the company.
Email is an important communications tool, and it is both a blessing and a danger. To ensure that it is a blessing, I offer my expectations of email use as well as my Top Ten Good Email Practices. Some of you may have seen them from a blog of mine about five years ago.
I believe that the danger of having our private lives invaded by work can be mitigated if we have both a mutual understanding of our expectations and the discipline to behave in the best manner for sustainable, long-term success.
