| Writing
is one of our most basic forms of
communication. Every day, people ask us to
express our ideas in reports, proposals, letters
and presentations. In fact, whatever we
write becomes a lasting representation of our
thoughts, our opinions, and our professional
credibility.
Yet, few of us stop long enough to make sure we have said what we intended to say. Instead, we simply churn out our first thoughts, send them out, cross our fingers, and hope for the best. Unfortunately, this approach can set us up for professional disaster. Unless we take time to express our thoughts clearly, concisely, and completely, we risk the possibility that our readers will gain only partial - or inadequate - understanding of our ideas. We tarnish relationships with co-workers by increasing their confusion and making their jobs more difficult. We increase our workload by having to give the same information a second, or even third, time. By attaching our names to mediocre writing, we begin to undermine our credibility and authority as experts. That is, we risk appearing foolish and apathetic - or worse - completely uninformed. Ultimately, we can wind up compromising our integrity. Can you afford to take this
chance
