A Hmmm # for leaders – What’s in your mail?

by Scott PatchinFeb 9, 2012Insights, Keynote topic, Leadership, Managing Talent, Performance Management, Professional Development, Self awareness

From a USA Today article on February 8th breaking down what comes in someone’s mail.

22% Standard mail (mostly advertising)
17% Fliers and circulars
8% Catalogs
5% Financial statements
5% First class advertising
4% Periodicals (newspapers, magazines)
3% Greeting cards
.7% Personal Letters
etc

Imagine how you could stand out as a leader sending a personal note to someone on your team? A whole lot less competition than email. Here is a link to the cards I use to say thank you or congratulations. Having them handy makes it easy to write a quick note.

Email is better than nothing – if you want to measure yourself against nothing. 🙂
