Be an effective communicator.
Hundreds of emails are hitting the inbox daily of a mid-career professional and if you are copying your boss/bosses on every email, that’s what you are doing wrong and losing your control on matters and grip on things. Unless asked by your boss/bosses try to find a way to balance it out.
If you spend an average of 2 minutes on each email, you may consume hours and hours being distracted from your goal. Similarly, replying to these emails is another activity wasting your time that not only will drain your energy but also doesn’t leave a good impression.
Imagine your boss is consuming his time too. You are hired by your boss to support him in performing daily tasks not to give him additional tasks besides his responsibilities.
Your email should be worth, and people must read them. If you start copying unnecessary soon these emails will be ignored.
Pro-Tip:
Start writing emails to your boss in an effective way that will improve your wroth.
Send him :
- 1 email in the morning about your planned tasks for the day.
- Send another email at the end of the day updating what has happened in the same email sent in morning showing Actual vs Planned.
- A separate email with ‘clear’ subject where does you need his “Support” or “Input” so he will know that you don’t bother him but really seek his effective intervention.
Try this, I hope this will increase your importance and value in front of your boss and will enhance overall performance.
