Writing to communicate effectively

With email and text messaging becoming so prevalent, there is a tendency to become slack in all writing and this is something that is impacting on businesses and organisations. This was highlighted in an article in the New York Times entitled What Corporate America cannot build: A sentence."

There are two aspects to communication. Getting your message read and understood, and creating an impression. If the writing is difficult to understand, then the message will not be read. We are all just too busy. If it is too awkwardly written it will not be understood, and in fact could be seriously misunderstood. Put these two together and you have a recipe for an impression that you will definitely not want to create for your organisation.
