The CEO of one firm I worked at wrote emails totally in bullet point format.
replyMade it much easier to read and you could just reply with:
> bullet point
response
which made life much easier
I love terse text communications most of the time (Slack and email at least). So much clearer. And easier to respond to.
replyI think we've all worked with someone who (I imagine subconsciously) feels the need to make things longer without actually adding more information in there, and it just makes everyone's day a little harder.
It's called an executive summary because that's the only thing the executive will read of your carefully put together report.
replyIn instances where context is important, I have been including a summary with call to action at the start of the message, then include details below to hopefully eliminate back and forth. It helps me be more clear with my point, and most people once they have an action only use the context for reference later.
