than half that time is wasted."

Communication is important to
management success, yet often these tools can also be a waste of time.�
Managers read lots of emails each day and prefer the emails be short and to
the point.� Since many of them are also reading their emails on-the-go
using phones and PDAs, they often prefer to not have to open large attachments.�
Some managers prefer a short voice mail to an email, especially if an urgent
reply is needed.� Verify the manager's preferences for offsite
communication methods and length.� Remember to use appropriate email
and phone etiquette as well.

If you are
planning a lunch or short program to honor a leader, consider having the
group do a "Play on Words" activity as a way to recognize the individual.�
Before the event, have each person in your group write down a word or two they feel describes
the leader or characteristics he displays.� Then take the words and put
them together to create an acrostic using the leader's name or develop them into a
short rhyme using the words and his name.� Neatly type it and then read
it and present typed version to the leader at the lunch or program.� If you want
to be really creative and fun, consider a rap of the rhyme.
