Right here’s my communications ask of colleagues…
If I do one thing that you simply suppose isn’t proper, please don’t ship or reply by electronic mail and CC a bunch extra individuals — invariably our increased ups— to allow them to know you’re not blissful?
Even if you happen to CCed with out malice, take into account how the goal of your criticism feels: a bit tarred and feathered, not given an opportunity, possibly the thing of passive aggressive bullsh*t?
As an alternative, chat me up privately and I’ll be blissful to speak issues over with you, share my perspective, and even apologize.
You’re doing your self a favor not sending it. By involving others, you don’t look so good both, not figuring out how you can talk correctly 1:1 and distracting these above you together with your spurious electronic mail.
If you happen to’re a supervisor, you could copy the above and ship it to your employees.
