At work, have you often felt overwhelmed by the number of messages, calls or requests that come your way? Have you felt unsure which messages you need to respond now, save for later, or even ignore? A common pitfall in communication is that we often don’t clarify our intentions when communicating. Is it to inform? Is it to seek input? Is it urgent and/or important? Is it to seek action? When expectations are unclear, employees may feel pressured to read every email or message that’s sent their way and respond quickly, leading to stress and confusion. In her book Reculturing, Melissa Daimler, describes a system of labelling emails on the subject line, that makes it clear what is the urgency of each email, and which emails require action or are just informational.? - FYI, for things that don't need to be responded to but read. - NAN (no action needed). For things that don't need to be responded to or read - Urgent, if a response is needed within 24 hours, could also be followed up with a text message,? - AN, action needed, for things that needed a response within the next 48 hours. Such a communication habit helps everyone quickly filter and prioritize requests. What matters is that you set clear guidelines on how to apply these labels and reinforce them in messages. Another approach to improve communication is to summarise the key takeways at the top of a long message or report. In tech circles this is known as TL;DR (short for “too long, didn’t read”), and lets team members grasp the main ideas without reading the entire document immediately. It also shows you respect their time and leads to faster, more focused discussions. Are you intentional at work about how you communicate?

Culture is all around us. It's how we make decisions, how we resolve conflicts, how we share information, how we build relationships, how we voice our opinion, how we celebrate our wins, whether and how we choose to have a difficult conversation at work. It's all the behaviors, and interactions - even if we barely notice it. In the workplace, it’s the day-to-day norms, unspoken rules, and unwritten, shared values that define how people connect and collaborate. Take a moment to look around your own “water.” How does it shape what you do, how you lead, and how you grow? Recognizing it is the first step toward building a culture where everyone thrives. And if you 'd like to better understand where your culture is breaking down, and what are the dysfunctions in your teams, take the test drive at rethinkculture.co
