Two words we can’t say enough

The other day, someone on my team said I seem to have mastered the art of sending two-word notes.

In today’s fast-paced environment, we all know brevity is key to wading through a constantly growing inbox of emails. So a couple of words are sometimes ideal responses to emails that just need a brief acknowledgement:

“Copy that.”

“Makes sense.”

“Happy to.”

“Will do.”

“10-4.”

When pressed for time, I try to be succinct. But my team member’s observation had me thinking about two words I don’t say often enough.

These are two words I’d like to extend to my colleagues and team members at Wells Fargo, as well as business partners, community leaders, and others in my network whom I’ve worked with this past year: “Thank you.”

Thank you:

• For your hard work serving our customers and communities.
• For your commitment to continuing to reimagine the future of financial services.
• For your perseverance in the face of challenges and your optimism in seeing opportunities.
• For the ideas you’ve so generously shared with me and other leaders in our organization, inspiring us to think in new and innovative ways during this time of significant transformation at the company.
• For your dedication to the community causes you serve, including your donations to the Wells Fargo Holiday Food Bank this season.
• For your comments on and engagement with content I’ve posted on LinkedIn this past year. I appreciate the engagement.

For all of this and so much more, I am deeply grateful.

Thank you.
