The advantage of emails. We receive (many) every day.
So why not use them to develop a quality.
Patience for example (one of my biggest flaws)
1. Wait before you respond.
You read your emails. 3 people are on the receiving end of a question. You think you know the answer.
Wait.
2. Don’t launch into long prose.
It will take you 15 minutes (at least) and a chain of emails to manage.
3. What if you wait until the end of the day?
Most of minor problems you ignore will take care of themselves. One of the other two people will respond.
The email chain will occur without you, and your colleagues will have shown initiative in handling the situation. You were not needed.
4. You have saved time,
your colleagues have grown and you have developed your patience again.
