After seeing how e-mails have come back to haunt so many executives in court, Im wondering what should one avoid e-m

10、ailing? I just read about a big Hollywood star who decided that he was going to seek a divorce from his spouse of 22 years. He didnt sit down to talk to her about this. He didnt even give her a call. Nope, he e-mailed her about it. Unfortunately, hes not the only one who has broken his vows through

11、e-mail. Many of us have e-mailed someone over something that was far too important, far too nuanced, far too personal to e-mail. Below is a list of times not to hit send. For more, check out The Bosss Survival Guide by Rosner, Halcrow and Levins (McGraw Hill, 2000). Dont e-mail big stuff. Dont e-mai

12、l an announcement about a merger, acquisition, reorganization or downsizing. If its a big deal then you need to tell your people face-to-face. Reading a major announcement in an e-mail isnt as bad as reading it for the first time in the newspaper, but its close. Dont e-mail policy changes that will

13、generate questions. Changes in sick leave or vacation time policies or benefits coverage will generate questions. As a general rule, anything that hits someones wallet should be explained face-to-face. Stop e-mails that become a tennis match. Weve all known e-mail debates that have volleyed back and

If an e-mail goes back and forth more than three times and especially if the distribution list gets bigger thats a sure sign that the discussion is bigger than e-mail. Call a halt and bring people together to resolve the issue. Dont put anything con

15、fidential in e-mail. That includes: Salaries, comments about performance, etc. Dont put anything in e-mail that you dont want to see in the newspaper or hear in court. Now that organizations as diverse as Microsoft and the White House have found their internal e-mail printed in newspapers and read i

16、n court, you know that even private e-mail is not really private. Nor can it be easily deleted. Which leads to the big issue are you hiding behind your e-mail? Some managers rely on e-mail in lieu of face-to-face conversation. Its especially tempting when people are off-site; such as telecommuters,

17、vendors, or independent contractors. E-mail is more easily misinterpreted because it doesnt allow for give-and-take discussion and people arent guided by facial expressions and vocal intonations. And the more dependent you are on e-mail, the more mysterious you become. Even the Wizard of Oz learned

18、that being the man behind the curtain only gets you so far. Go down the hall, hang out in the lunchroom, or pick up the phone at least some of the time. Follow these tips and what you are trying to say wont get divorced from the way that you say it. 1. According to the passage, which of the followin
