5 classic email personalities and how to respond to each

5 classic email personalities and how to respond to each5 classic email personalities and how to respond to eachWe all have a tendency to misread client emails. The tones we hear in our heads can dictate our responses, which could hinder the working relationship and impact the success of a project.Unfortunately, we cant pick what personalities land in our inbox. But we can try to understand them and pinpoint certain emails, helping us learn how to communicate more efficiently with clients (without pulling our hair out).Our PR teamhas generated a list of the top five types of personalities we landsee every day in our inbox, along with solutions for the best way to respond.The hounderYou went to bed with a clean inbox, only to wake up to a horrifying number of unread emails from the same person, each discussing the same topic with disjointed thoughts and ideas. Did you reply quickly enough?Clearly not, because now you have another slew of unread emails following up on whether you had r eceived those previous emails. Suddenly, your inbox has been taken over by a client who needs affirmation, constant communication, and handholding at their convenience.Be calm its all about training your clients by setting email boundaries. Do not answer those emails right away (unless there is a serious crisis). Send one single email that addresses only the pertinent information crucial for campaign success.These emails create a false sense of urgency and will only cause you more stress if you dont take a step back and realize this barrage doesnt mean the world is falling apart. The hounder email personality simply wants to know youre there and are listening.The novelistAll you needed was one simple answer to a quick question you had, or a quick quote regarding the nachrichtensendung youre pushing. Instead, you have received the annotated version of War and Peace.Our best suggestion? Skim the page until you find keywords where theactual response to your original inquiry is hiding, or be extremely specific in the what you are asking for, limiting their ability to diverge into tangents.Once youve done this, explain why the information they provided is important to the success of the campaign. Be sure to move forward in casethey decide at the last minute to pull out of an amazing opportunity. After all, those novel-length emails will prove to be your best asset to help your client recall decisions theyve made that have stalled any success on your part.The selective muteThese clients seem to be impossible to reach during pivotal moments of a campaign. They take days to respond to an action that needs immediate attention, or take weeks to greenlight a timely pitch. The radio silence becomes too much to handle when they stop calling into those mandatory conference calls that theyd to schedule weekly.To deal with this reality, you should prepare all materials for future use. Collect information ahead of time so that you do not have to rely heavily on their presence. If they need to greenlight every idea, get their approval ahead of time in an email so you have permission to go after timely opportunities. Dont be afraid to call your client when youre stuck between a jupe and a hard place and cannot move forward unless they are available.The GIF-erSometimes, its hard not to laugh when a client is in good spirits and sends an unexpected GIF to highlight a success, no matter how big or small. However, were talking about the GIF-ers who incessantly send GIFs that become a waste of space in our inbox.Dont feel tempted to send GIFs in response they are distracting and are not going to aid in your teams productivity. GIFs and memes can quickly become overwhelming and misconstrued within seconds Avoid reading into them by simply ignoring them. This rule also applies for emojis.The tattlerDont you love it when everyone in the office is copied on an email that only requires the anfangsbuchstabe persons response? We call these people Tattlers, since they seem to want every conversation in every persons inbox.Discretion and looping in the correct recipients does not seem to be of concern. Always assume every email you send and receive will have outside eyes on it. Be aware of the content in your email, and clearly label who you are directly emailing. Follow your clients protocol in continuing to loop in the team, even if they one-off email you. This allows the client to slowly reshape their CC-ing tendencies.Bryanne Lawless is the owner of BLND Public Relations.This article originally appeared on BusinessCollective.

15 common writing mistakes you are making right now

15 common writing mistakes you are making right now15 common writing mistakes you are making right nowLet me start this by introducing myselfImMaddie,copy editor and editorial assistant at The Everygirl. Much of my time is spent copy editing - which means that I edit stories that come in for both grammar and style. I graduated with my degree in editorial journalism last spring, where my entire life consisted of editing and writing. Long story short, Im a grammar junkie, and have edited lots and lots of stories in my 22 years - and (very, very unfortunately) am a living, breathing example of the meme that corrects peoples your to *youre in the middle of a texting argument.Through this, I learned that when it comes to grammatical errors, people tend to continually make the saatkorn few mistakes - whether theyre a professional writer or havent touched a book since 8th grade English class. From stories for our site to billboards over the highway, these mistakes areeverywhere.Follow La dders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreIve always wished I could shout them from my rooftop to everyone I know, but this is the next best thing. Without further ado, here are the fruchtwein common writing mistakes I see, and all of the tricks Ive used to remember them1. DecadesThis is hands down the most common mistake I see - down to brands having it wrong on T-shirts.You arent a 90s baby, youre a 90s baby.*shakes fists in air*Think of the apostrophe as replacing the numbers youre omitting. Full decades do not have any punctuation.Right 90s/ 1990sI welches born in the 1990s.I was born in the 90s.Wrong 90s/ 1990sI was born in the 1990s.I was born in the 90s.2. Its vs. itsThis is a tough one. Generally, apostrophes indicate possession, but with its, its the exact opposite.Its is a contraction forit is.Its 30 degrees outside.Its is thepossessiveof it.The dog hurt its paw.3. Accept vs. exceptEve n though these words are pronounced similarly, their meanings are completely different.Accept meanstoreceive.She accepted the award.Except meansto exclude.I like all vegetables except broccoli.4. Affect vs. effectI know professional writers that arestillstumped by this one. Affect and effect have similar meanings, but one is used as a noun, and the other as a verb.Affect is a verb, meaningto influence.The game will affect the teams rankings.The rain will affect my commute.Effect is a noun, meaningto cause.The medicine had horrible side effects.(The tip I use for this one is to remembersideeffects - the most common use of the word.)5. Follow-up vs. follow upEver sat and debated this in the email subject to someone you just had an vorstellungsgesprch with before reluctantly pressing send and hoping you didnt just blow your chances at a new job? Same.Follow-upis a noun and adjective. Hyphenate when used before a noun.I sent her a follow-up email.Follow upis a verb.I contacted the manag er to see if I could follow up.6. 6am in the morningI see so many instances where people describe time as 6am in the morning or 10pm at night. We already know 6am is in the morning, so following with in the morning is redundant.7. Who vs. whomWhois used as the subject of a sentence.Whomis used when someone is the object of a verb (or preposition).TipWhen youre stuck, try substituting he or she, and him or her into the sentence where who is.If he or she works, usewho.If him or her works, usewhom.ExampleWho/whom ate my lunch?She ate my lunch vs. Her ate my lunch.The first is obviously right, so the right word would be who.Who ate my lunch?8. Whos vs. whoseWhosis a contraction for who is.Whos there?Whoseis the possessive of who.Whose coat is this?9. Their vs. there vs. theyreTheiris a possessive pronoun.Their house has a pool.Thereindicates direction.Look over thereTheyreis a contraction for they are.Theyre moving to New York.10. Principle vs. principalAprincipalis in charge of a schoo l.I went to the principals office.Aprinciplemeans a truth, law, or motivating force.I wasnt mad at what happened, I was mad at the principle of it.11. Roll vs. roleTorollis to move on wheels (or a piece of bread you eat).My car rolled down the hill.Aroleis a part played by a person in a situation.I described my job role.12. Peek vs. peakThe top of a mountain is apeak(or the maximum of something).I climbed to the peak of Everest.Peekmeans to look quickly.Here is a sneak peek of our new collection.13. Then vs. thanThenis used to express time or what will come next.Im going to go for a run, then go to the office.Thanis used for comparison.I am taller than my sister.14. SemicolonsAh, semicolons - the form of punctuation that seems to strike the most fear into people considering using them. Semicolons arenotas complicated as people think. Here are the most common instances that I personally use themFor clarification in a series. If an item in a list requires a comma itself, separate it with a semicolon.I saw Ted, a farmer Fred, an accountant and Ned, a policeman.Before the word however when however is joining two independent clauses (which is almost always).I love cats however, I am allergic to them.To combine two ideas that are equal in position or rankAbigail likes Americanos Josie likes lattes.15. ParallelismParallelism is matching grammatical structure within a sentence.Basically, everything in your sentences needs to agree in tense and form. This makes sentences clear and a lot more readable.WrongWe went skiing in the alps, swam in the ocean, and drove in the desert.RightWe went skiingin the alps, swimmingin the ocean, and drivingin the desert. (All of the verbs are now the same tense.)WrongGyms can be an incredibly exclusionary environment.RightGyms can be incredibly exclusionary environments.(Gyms is plural, so environment should be as well.)This article originally appeared on The Everygirl.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will ma ke you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

The Grass is not Always Greener

The Grass is not Always GreenerThe Grass is not Always GreenerThe Grass is not Always Greener Farren, Ph.D., MasteryWorks, Inc. Today, people are moving alfruchtwein every which way but up. Last-ditch economic survival tactics have forced organizations to be smaller, flatter, nimbler and networked. Organizations are changing through mergers, new leadership, change in strategic directions, or by outsourcing products and services. All of these elements promise to trigger explosive consequences in human resources.The Grass Is Always Greener Syndrome More than two-thirds of American executives are worried about their most skilled talent walking out the door and with good reason.

The Debate about Blocking Social Media in the Workplace

The Debate about Blocking Social Media in the WorkplaceThe Debate about Blocking Social Media in the WorkplaceThe Debate about Blocking Social Media in the Workplace HoltzRecent trends show that more than half of US employers are blocking social media access at the workplace. A variety of fears have led to the restriction, led by certainty that time spent on facebook inc or Twitter is productivity the company can never get back. By implementing a complete block of social media, leaders and managers are able to rest easy, secure in the knowledge that their employees are spending their time doing the work for which theyre being paid.Nothing could be farther from the truth. The truth isBlocking social media access is a costly exercise that simply doesnt work.Employee use of social mediain the workplacedoesnt necessarily adversely affect productivity.There are distinct advantages to allowing and even encouraging employees to use social media sites while at work.The future of business i s a networked future. Employers who figure out the right balance will be more competitive. Those that dont will be left behind.The Futility of BlockingDo you have a smart phone? An iPhone, a BlackBerry, a Droid, a Palm Pre or any of the dozens of other models available? You can surf the Web, access social networks, send and receive messages on Twitter and engage in all kinds of other online activities. So can your employees.Blocking access to social sites via your company networks wont stop most employees from engaging in the same behavior the blocks were designed to prevent. Ann Cavoukian, privacy commissioner for the Canadian province of Ontario, has called blocking a mistake. Its like waving the proverbial red flag in front of your staff its almost a challenge to them to find a way around it, she is quoted. She adds that blocking social media access is counterproductive, with the time employees spend finding a way to the sites they want to visit being more time-consuming than ac tually visiting the sites.Productivity Trends Tell the StoryIf worker productivity is at an all-time low, why do US Department of Labor statistics paint a different picture in which productivity continues to rise?The answer is simple. Productivity is not a measure of the time employees spend at work engaged in non-work activities. Its a measure of output. And the use of social media can actually help increase employee output. The question isnt whether someone is spending time watching YouTube videos at work. The question is whether theyre work is getting done, on time and to the quality standards expected of them.A study conducted at the University of Melbourne found that employees with access to social networks were actually more productive than employees in companies that block access. According to Dr. Brent Coker, employees who can reward themselves between the completion of one task and the start of another with a visit to their Facebook or MySpace page are more invigorated and get more done. According to the study, they get 9 percent more accomplished than their blocked counterparts.Getting to the Crux of the MatterThere will always be employees who waste time. There always have been, long before computers were introduced to the workplace. Addressing this problem is a management issue, not a technological one. (Does anyone really think that somebody genuinely wasting time on MySpace is suddenly going to become a shining example of productivity because IT blocked access?) Supervisors need to manage by exception those employees whose use of social networks genuinely is affecting their productivity.Theres more to the productivity issue, though. Among knowledge workers, the fact that they are networked means they can work anywhere. Think about it. Do you check your email on your mobile phone as soon as you get up? Thats a work-related activity at home. Employees review reports while at their kids soccer games. They take overseas calls after dinner. They draft reports before bed. Thus it seems disingenuous to not include the time employees spend doing work when theyre not at the office in your calculations.How many of your knowledge workers arrive at 9 and leave at 5? An employee who arrives at 730 a.m. and leaves at 630 p.m. can spend two hours on Facebook and totenstill put in a solid eight hours of work plus the time they spend working when theyre away from the office.Its also worth remembering that the same productivity paranoia was raised over the telephone and email.Author BioShel Holtz is principal of Holtz Communication + Technology,consulting with organizations on the effective use of online platforms for communication.
