It seems common in many of today%u2019s workplaces that people don%u2019t actually talk to one another frequently. We rely on e-mail or the even less rich
communication channel of text messaging. The benefits of moving lots of information quickly around an organization and between individuals are real. However
people can too frequently %u201Chide behind%u201D their computers and send messages electronically that they might otherwise censor or re-think in face-to-face
communication. What approaches would you recommendimplement as a new manager taking over an organization to improve communications without abandoning the use
of e-mail?
