Being busy is no excuse for not returning calls and opening e-mails

Legend has it that Napoleon believed that “an army marches on its stomach”.

Given communication’s importance, how often have you heard someone say, “oh I’m so busy”, or “it’s been so hectic”, as an excuse for not getting back to you or for not answering a question, memo or e-mail? Be under no illusion.

There seems to be a similar issue with the Collier Survey, which offers a comprehensive environmental management and governance solution, which is also free to the participating clubs.

There are three main problem areas, which often result in e-mail and communications in general being badly structured, poorly managed or misdirected.
