In-Person Powers


One co-worker just does not get it, constantly sends emails when all she has to do is talk to folks in person.  I believe that you could be sitting right next to her, and she would rather send an email than talk to you.  Making matters even worse, she feels as though she has some sort of power to issue commandments to people.

Thankfully, I am not too close to this person.  I am just upstairs though, and our organization is not that big.  There are probably 50 people in our building.

I keep thinking that it is easier to simply ignore her emails and respond to her in person, hoping (apparently, against hope) that she will someday get it.  Unfortunately, she just sends another email asking the very question that was just answered.

It is probably not entirely her fault, more so her career upbringing in an over bloated corporate environment where nobody really talks to each other.

Interviewing this person, I suspected she would have a difficult time working in a small business environment.  I even communicated that to the one hiring her.  

She didn't seem to care.  Now she has about 50 people that do not care for this person.

Some folks really need training in appropriate channels for interpersonal communication.

Here are a couple of relevant stories.



My Pro Tip:  Get out from behind your technology and actually talk to people.  You will be surprised at the results and speed at which you get a response.
