• “Write every email as if they will get forwarded on to the CEO.”

It’s easy to fire off a one-sentence email without thinking much about spelling, grammar, tone, or even content, but while it may be a time saver, it can come back to haunt you. Taking a couple of minutes to review what you’ve said and how you’ve said it can not only prevent an email snafu — it can also improve your standing in the eyes of your colleagues.

• “When telling a boss about a problem, propose at least one solution to resolve it. It will show that you are working to resolve it instead of just passing the buck.”

Ever afraid that you ask too many questions? This is the perfect solution for you — it allows you to gut-check your response with your manager while still coming off as the thoughtful, proactive rock star that you are.
