More leadership tips:
If you're on a group email thread and your direct report posts something that you feel needs clarification, don't reply all. There's a good possibility that the other person's question wasn't directed at you.
If you feel you need clarification, check in directly with the employee who reports to you. Otherwise, it can feel like you're a manager who is more of a "reply guy" on social media.

just learned that "per my last email" is corporate for "do you have short-term memory loss or are you just ignoring me on purpose?" — incredible UX for passive aggression. 🫡 #worklife #emailetiquette

This is incredibly shitty and user-hostile information design. For starters, I don’t even know why I need a periodic reminder that I’m CAUGHT UP on training, but assuming I do, DON’T BURY THE LEDE.
My status should be the first sentence of the email, if not in the actual subject line.

If I email a business with a question and don't get a response, what's a good time to wait before trying again?
The businesses are a dog obedience training program and a small company that's started selling tea.
I don't want to seem like apain, but I'd like to get my questions answered 🫤

Sometimes, I imagine the HAL 9000 answering emails on my behalf simply by saying, "I'm Sorry, Dave can't do that." So, today's title was a no brainier.

Here in the year of our befuddlement 2024, people still send emails with fewer than five (5) exclamation points. Why? Why?!?!?!?!
Life is this *waves at it all*
At least give us some exclamation points!!!

More #emailetiquette
Know the difference between forwarding a message and replying all and adding additional people.
The former breaks the thread as a one time interruption to share information.
The latter adds recipients to the thread so they can either join in and/or track future messages in the thread.
"I forwarded you that thread." That doesn't get you a free pass later in the project if there is more information required.

In this third video of the new #emailetiquette #microlearning video series, I discuss what I consider to be the "Four W's" of an effectively composed and written #email: Why they got it, What they need to know, What they need to do, and When they need to have it done by.
Welcome your comments on this -- did I miss anything? Do you have similar rules/strategies for composing better e-mail messages?

My out-of-office auto-reply:
“I’m like, not here? So maybe talk to somebody else about your email. Or just wait til I get back, whatever.”

If you send a professional email introducing two people—one senior and one junior—who do you expect to write the next "thank you for the introduction" email?
Let's say neither requested the introduction; you just think the two people would like to know each other (but you asked permission from the senior person).

Try out my new AI tool for responding to emails. "Response Mate". I'd love to hear what you think and how it worked for you. #AI #email #business #emailetiquette https://ricraftis.au/ai-tools/response-mate-reply-to-emails-with-ai/

When you write, "please complete on or before EOD Wednesday or Thursday", I read "please complete by Friday, 9am at the latest"
We need to state our #requirements clearly and unambiguously.

How to get a CES PR pitch wrong
2018 is only six days old, and I have already received 725 e-mails mentioning “CES” somewhere–and that’s excluding those from colleagues at various clients.
Something about this gargantuan electronics show makes tech-PR types needier and thirstier than at any other time of the year–which, in turn, makes tech-journalism types crankier than at any other time of the year. It’s not a good look for any of us.
With that volume of pitches, any one CES PR e-mail faces dire odds. Those odds get a lot worse if the message gets some basic stuff wrong.
Undisclosed location: Proximity drives scheduling at CES, because the traffic is so awful, so I need to know where an event is at before I decide if it’s worth my time. If you don’t say where your event is at, am I supposed to think it’s at some venue miles from the Strip?
While I’m on the subject, a five-digit booth number is not that much of a help, since that could be anywhere in several square miles of convention-center space.
Unannounced time: More CES pitches than you’d think forget another Invitation 101 thing, telling me when an event is happening. Please remember to put that in the message–by which I mean in the message’s text, so mail clients can detect it and offer to add it to my calendar.
Micromanaged scheduling: The Pepcom and ShowStoppers receptions are an efficient way for smaller companies to get exposure to the press and for journalists to get dinner and a drink or three to numb the pain. I always attend them. (Disclosure: The ShowStoppers people put together my annual trip to the IFA trade show in Berlin.) I don’t mind PR pitches saying that a client will be at one of these events. I really hate requests to book an appointment at them; please don’t waste my time with them.
Breaking the laws of CES physics: Press-conference day and opening day of CES–this time around, Monday and Tuesday–are the two busiest days of the show. Coaxing journalists to some event that isn’t at the primary venue for each day (Mandalay Bay for press conferences, the Las Vegas Convention Center for opening day) is generally a doomed endeavor. PR folks reading this: I wish you good luck in convincing your clients to not try this next year.
Some of these event invitations come with an offer of a free ride to or from the LVCC. On opening day, that car will have to be of the flying variety.
Standard-issue mail #fail. CES is no better than any other time to forget about the BCC line in your e-mail and instead send a pitch to 258 people on the To: line. Somebody did that this time around, and it worked about as well as you’d expect. One recipient took the time to techsplain to the sender how he should check out the BCC option–“I heard it was rolled out at CES 1977”–and of course did so by hitting reply-all himself.
