“Just send an email instead.”
“Don’t meet. Chat”
I heard this yesterday.
Again.
But here’s what people miss:
Meetings aren’t the problem.
Poor communication is.
I’ve seen:
- Confusing emails
- Unclear chat messages
- Meetings that go nowhere
The medium isn’t magic.
The message matters more.
Master communication, and you have the key to successful interaction.
How?
- Have a clear goal
- Prepare the context
- Facilitate properly
- Capture decisions
Your format isn’t the superpower.
The execution is.
- I can confuse you in person
- I can confuse you in writing
- I can confuse you on Teams.
Or I can be clear in all three.
Stop blaming the medium.
Start mastering the message.
What’s your most effective communication channel, and why?
