ELIMINATE ALL NEEDLESS COMMUNICATIONS

Here are some quick and easy ways to cut down on communications clutter:

Keep your email messages clear, concise, and focused only on the crucial points, so you aren’t wasting anyone’s time.

Design your communication around your organizational chart. If you have five teams and each team has a department head, only message the person in charge. Do not waste your staff’s time by copying the message to every member of the team. Let them work and be productive.

Don’t accept unnecessary messages in your email files. Instruct your staff to copy you only on matters that require your decision, and allow them to unsubscribe to any emails that only waste their time.

Take advantage of available technology such as walkie-talkies or an interoffice messaging system.

Set up an automatic response that lets people know that you’re managing your email the way you want and that if it’s important, you’ll get back to them ASAP. Garrett Gunderson, the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Killing Sacred Cows, created an automatic response that outlines how and when every email will be handled, and what to do if the matter is an emergency: I rarely personally handle email; instead I use a team approach. My team will be filtering all emails. I will have meetings with them to address any items that need to be addressed. If this requires immediate attention and you know my cell phone, please text me. Otherwise someone from my team will be in touch with you. Please be assured that any attachments or items I need to see will be brought to my attention as I meet with my team on a regular basis.
