Writer’s Remorse
Here’s what I know about doing HR communication: The closer you get to deadline, the more edits people have. It’s what I call Writer’s Remorse. Here’s what else I know: Those last-second edits rarely add anything to the quality of the communication.
Folks, communication isn’t about single words on a page or just one more PowerPoint slide. Great communication is about creating pictures in peoples’ heads. All the rest is clutter.
