During a recent Frenchfounders networking lunch, we discussed the overwhelming nature of email communication.
One member, buried under 650 unread emails, considered deleting them all, saying, “If it’s important, they’ll resend.” Another ignores cc’d emails entirely. Conclusion: email overload is a significant productivity drain.
While platforms like Slack, texts, and WhatsApp offer alternatives, they can also add to the chaos.
We need to establish clear communication guidelines to improve efficiency and build trust. Coaching can help leaders develop these practices, creating better communication flows and overall success.
