I've ...Communication management is a big deal. I've had to reign consultants who like to forcefully defend their position on COR reviews with wording like - "Can't they read", "Tell them to take a flying leap", "What hole did they did that out of", and a few more stronger words than that. Never swearing, but always on the edge. Occassionally the client has set the tone with that kind of talk at meetings The formal correspondence out of an architect's office should never allow it - no matter the expediency of the situation and how much you may actually be thinking it. <br /><br />I often take a ding from others for my e-mails being to long. So there is a balance. I agree that "here you go" not signed, no salutation is a bit short, but I can live with "Mark, Here is the file you requested" because I really do get sick of typing variations of "Please let me know..." all day as well. There should be a single key for that line and random variations! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
