Ways to avoid Email disasters.

Proof read before sending.
Have you ever received an email from someone which was a grammatical disaster? What was your reaction? Did you think they were sloppy or incompetent? Either way, your reaction is negative. Remember to check your email by reading over it at least once. We often send an email without checking.

Watch who you are sending your email to.
Do you receive email that doesn’t concern you? What is your reaction to these situations? Do not overload your teams with unnecessary communication. Be careful of your email recipients. Sometimes we send an email replying to all when we really only want to respond to the person who has sent the email, or vice versa. We think we have sent an email to one person and we realize it has gone out to the entire company.
