Ever look up a recipe and find a short novel before the recipe itself?
Or maybe you received an email from someone, and after three paragraphs, you still don’t know what they want.
Maybe it’s a report or memo that buries the top line info in fluff and filler.
One of the best ways to get a response, earn respect, and win is by getting to the point.
It doesn’t mean being cold – you’re still a human communicating with another human, so respect is a must. It means being concise and clear.
Say what you mean and say it early.
