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!

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.
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.
