I recently shared with @caagleadership #Class49 that “Reply All is one of my pet peeves for leaders.” While there is a time and place for “Reply All,” it is most frequently overused in organizations. This article explains why: When managers add unnecessary email burden to their employees’ inboxes, they’re not doing it right. By being more efficient and effective in communication strategies, leaders can reduce stress, reduce confusion and get stuff done! #bebetter #communicatebetter #leadbetter #CALP_Alumni #Repost @harvard_business_review with @get_repost ・・・ When’s the last time your team got an email from your boss after dinner? Or maybe you’re a boss who’s guilty of sending late night emails to your employees. Intentionally or not, managers who frequently work late nights can signal an expectation of similar behavior to the people who work for them. This can have a variety of negative effects. One is stress: Recent Gallup research concluded that “U.S. workers who email for work and who spend more hours working remotely outside of normal working hours are more likely to experience a substantial amount of stress on any given day than workers who do not exhibit these behaviors.” Another is the sheer amount of time it takes to keep up on a conversation, especially when a boss includes multiple people on an email. As the charts above show, the small step of reducing the number of people on an email chain has a dramatic impact on people’s time — and happiness.
