Modern management practice

 Nowadays all of us can see a new tendancy in management which I call email management. I practice it every day, believing that in such a way I could quickly influency my subordinates, set priorities, provide help. But finally I could see the contrary:

• control is lost
• efficiency is lost due to constant emailing
• proactiveness and self-management is suffering becasue everybody is waiting for your reply

I have to quit it.

Just searched thru internet and found out an article The burden of email.
Some recommendations:

• Stop saying “Thanks”. Fellow workers already know that you are an appreciative colleague.
• Don’t try to persuade someone through e-mail. Use a phone or meeting instead.
• Keep your messages short. Avoid telling stories.
