business travel out of office message: Ask a Manager Alison Green, 2018-05-01 From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together |
business travel out of office message: Out of Office Charlie Warzel, Anne Helen Petersen, 2021-12-07 “This book will challenge you to rethink what it takes to make remote work work—not just for companies, but for people.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife The future isn’t about where we will work, but how. For years we have struggled to balance work and life, with most of us feeling overwhelmed and burned out because our relationship to work is broken. This “isn't just a book about remote work. It's a book that helps us imagine a future where our lives—at the office and home—are happier, more productive, and genuinely meaningful” (Charles Duhigg, best-selling author of The Power of Habit). Out of Office is a book for every office worker – from employees to managers – currently facing the decision about whether, and how, to return to the office. The past two years have shown us that there may be a new path forward, one that doesn’t involve hellish daily commutes and the demands of jam-packed work schedules that no longer make sense. But how can we realize that future in a way that benefits workers and companies alike? Based on groundbreaking reporting and interviews with workers and managers around the world, Out of Office illuminates the key values and questions that should be driving this conversation: trust, fairness, flexibility, inclusive workplaces, equity, and work-life balance. Above all, they argue that companies need to listen to their employees – and that this will promote, rather than impede, productivity and profitability. As a society, we have talked for decades about flexible work arrangements; this book makes clear that we are at an inflection point where this is actually possible for many employees and their companies. Out of Office is about so much more than zoom meetings and hybrid schedules: it aims to reshape our entire relationship to the office. |

business travel out of office message: Email Less Talk More Martin Rola, 2008-10 This timely book addresses the excessive and misguided use of email and helps all of us come to a more sensible view of when, where, and why to use it. It also goes beyond email to provide a roadmap for effective workplace communication in general. You and your organization will be able to go further, faster - that is, be more productive. Dr. Mark Frohman, President of Frohman Consulting Corporation and author of The Purpose Driven Organization, Mastering Priorities, and Involving Others in Problem Solving I have key staff members chained to their desks daily clearing email and complaining that many emails are not required, or at least they did not need to be copied. I know as an organization we need to communicate more effectively. I look forward to passing this book onto my staff and watching the improvements. Terry P. Roche, President of Thomas Engineering Corporation I spent many years trying to better manage email but seemed to be losing ground on productivity. This book showed me the real solution - use email for what it's good for, but don't overuse it. It's easy and fun to read and is packed with much more information than typical self-help and business productivity books. I've become a more effective communicator, improved my work/life balance, and have helped my staff become more productive as well. Don Silvestri, V.P. of Marketing & Public Relations for Open Sports Network & former Director of Marketing for CBS SportsLine Email Less - Talk More is the first book to provide solutions to problems created by workplace email overuse. Instead of treating the symptoms of reduced productivity and information overload with email management techniques and email etiquette, this book addresses the actual root cause. Email is a great communication method for many cases - but not for all cases. The book teaches people to choose the most effective communication means - email, voicemail, meetings, or direct conversation - based on the situation. It challenges readers to consider alternate communication methods before hitting COMPOSE or REPLY. It also provides solutions to many other productivity and work/life balance problems triggered by email and PDAs becoming the new preferred communication tools. Using an easy-to-read story format set in office, home, and family vacation settings, it shows how improper workplace communication - especially email - can adversely impact productivity, relationships, and personal lives. It provides many examples where email appears to be the most efficient communication tool but is actually much less productive for both the sender and recipients. The lessons from the book are summarized in easy-to-use rules that provide the Do's & Don'ts of effective communication. |

business travel out of office message: Introduction to Email client Gilad James, PhD, Email client refers to software that allows users to access and manage their email accounts. This software enables users to send, receive and organize emails on their computers or mobile devices. Commonly used email clients include Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Thunderbird among others. Email clients provide users with various features such as email composition, formatting, spell-checking, email signature creation, and the ability to create folders for organization and managing emails. They also allow users to set up multiple email accounts, receive notifications when new emails arrive, and easily search for specific emails. Email clients have become an essential tool for communication in both personal and professional settings. They have significantly reduced the reliance on web-based email services and provided users with more flexibility and control over their email accounts. |

business travel out of office message: Subject-Oriented Business Process Management Albert Fleischmann, Werner Schmidt, Christian Stary, Stefan Obermeier, Egon Börger, 2012-10-31 Activities performed in organizations are coordinated via communication between the people involved. The sentences used to communicate are naturally structured by subject, verb, and object. The subject describes the actor, the verb the action and the object what is affected by the action. Subject-oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM) as presented in this book is based on this simple structure which enables process-oriented thinking and process modeling. S-BPM puts the subject of a process at the center of attention and thus deals with business processes and their organizational environment from a new perspective, meeting organizational requirements in a much better way than traditional approaches. Subjects represent agents of an action in a process, which can be either technical or human (e.g. a thread in an IT system or a clerk). A process structures the actions of each subject and coordinates the required communication among the subjects. S-BPM provides a coherent procedural framework to model and analyze business processes: its focus is the cooperation of all stakeholders involved in the strategic, tactical, and operational issues, sharing their knowledge in a networked structure. The authors illustrate how each modeling activity through the whole development lifecycle can be supported through the use of appropriate software tools. The presentation style focuses on professionals in industry, and on students specializing in process management or organizational modeling. Each chapter begins with a summary of key findings and is full of examples, hints, and possible pitfalls. An interpreter model, a toolbox, and a glossary summarizing the main terms complete the book. The web site www.i2pm.net provides additional software tools and further material. |
