❚ ❚ Individual people behave in largely predictable patterns. As a manager, you need to un- derstand those behavioral patterns for each of the people who work for you. Try not to put them in situations where their expected response would be less than desirable. Get people into the roles that they are most likely to succeed in, and don’t jam round pegs into square holes (if you are smart). You know what people are going to do. Don’t try to change them. It’s frustrating and futile! ❚ ❚ “Reply to all” is a scourge on all of us! What an incredible time-waster this is for every- one. The amount of reading and deletion – or if not deleted – server space wasted by reply to all emails in A/E firms is staggering. My advice is put a stop to it! You have to address this or it will become cultural in your firm. ❚ ❚ Texting is becoming a bigger and bigger part of how people communicate today. If you are one of those people who “doesn’t text,” you better get with the program and learn how to do so quickly. If you don’t you won’t be able to be as responsive as you should be today.
