Exceed 100 million in annual sales by 2018 and if you need to reach Tom Patterson dont send him an email. I no longer check emails between 9 00 a. M. And 5 00 p. M. If you need to get ahold of me during that time, send me a text message or stand up and walk over to me. His strategy started long before wikileaks began dripping out secret information. It was a scare at his first job out of college that made him rethink email forever. A girl i worked with started my god, and she sent an email and said something she regretted. I just sat next to her and, lyrics gosh, i never want that feeling. And according to experts patterson had it right from the expert. A best selling book unsubscribed is about the benefits of cutting back on email.

Im thinking about looking at that software that encrypts your email. Ive always been very concerned about where my emails might end up. Like patterson many wellknown Business Leaders use emails sparingly, if at all. Replace short, sometimes one word and investor carl icahn rarely uses the service and Warren Buffett relies on his assistant for his messages. Everything can be exposed publicly eventually and we need to take that attitude towards it. Reporter and beyond security patterson says hes already seen age sglakt has is real empowered the people reporting to me to be more direct. I was able to delegate responsibility. Reporter and if you have any doubt at all, dont send the email. Come back to it later decide better yet have a facetoface conversation, especially if its confidential. For on the money, andrea day.
