Amazing article, Michal and Anton!

My favorite part is:

> What would you like to achieve with the message?

It sounds simple, but 90% of the time when emotions are heightened, this gets lost. It's important to take a moment to consider this, as every action that follows can either align with that outcome or push you even farther away from achieving it.

Thanks as well for the mention on my writing well article!

Thanks, Jordan, for sharing your perspective! It is important to wait until emotions calm down.

Managers often publish news and ideas right after they figure them out to show their team that progress is being made. However, exploring the 'What' is important to prevent broadcasting unsettled ideas too early.

I completely agree. I'm guilty of letting my emotions dictate the messages many times 😅

Enjoyed reading the article!

The problem with written communication is we have too much in our heads. Letting go of that context and reading it as a reader would becomes tricky. A seemingly clear message we have written becomes indecipherable by others.

Great tips, personally liked the "Write simply" part. Making what you want out of this can make a world of difference. Great work, and collaboration, Michal, Anton.

Edit 1: Btw, thanks for the shoutout to Leadership Letters!
