Are You an E-mail Professional?
I'm starting to like top ten lists... According to Harvard Business School, these are the righteous E-mail "commandments" we should all pray to follow... and I say hallelujah!
Then, by God, ..as the Converted E-mail Evangelist you know you have become, (and if not, *gasp!*, you better - I mean, it is Harvard speaking... hello!) ..we shall follow these rules given to us, and also preach forward! (yeh!) ..to evv-ery person (yeh oh-yeh!) ..that lays finger(s) to the keyboard (sing it sisters and brothers!) ..to follow the Harvard heavenly rules of E-communication by E-mail. (Amen!)
The Crimson have even gone the extra-mile and given us eleven! I love the driven... Now here we go:
The Eleven Commandments of E-mail
1. Use e-mail only when it's the most efficient channel for your need.
2. Never print your e-mail.
3. Send nothing over e-mail that must be error-free.
4. Never delete names from your address book.
5. Never forward chain e-mail.
6. Never send e-mail when you're furious or exhausted.
7. Don't pass on rumor or innuendo about real people.
8. Nor should you do so about companies you work for or may work for one day.
9. Never substitute e-mail for a necessary face-to-face meeting.
10. Remember this hierarchy: first the meeting, then the phone call, then the voice mail, then the e-mail.
11. Your e-mail is hackable and retrievable, and it can be used against you. Use only when absolutely necessary.
Now all of you get to church!
