Communication lies at the heart of any business. You should never write as though you were having a conversation. It can be just like Business and Administrative Communication in many ways. To compound the problem both parts were tending to be referred to by the same name.
Many entrepreneurs and leaders will admit that some information needs to be available on a need to know basis to prevent that information from slipping into the hands of the media, competition or enemy. It would be similar to a business communications textbook many times. The right information is defined both as the correct information and only the need to know information.
Remember it was not long ago you were chugging along on your dial-up access on your 286 IBM Clone computer and you were quite amazed at its abilities when it first came out. You should be conversational (e.g. write using the kind of words you might use if you were having a conversation) but not as though you were having a conversation. A little while ago I was involved in a project where we had to redevelop part of a web site. Is it true that not everyone can be trusted with information? Many people would agree, some would go so far as to say that humans cannot be trusted with information, but why? Well, information is power and if you power-up those who cannot control their integrity levels or choose not to, then in a way giving them the information makes you an accessory to their actions.
Just think what this will mean for your business endeavors. There is a simple thing that can be done to improve any businesses communications and yet few businesses ever pay any attention to it. Oftentimes, it can be just like a business writing textbook. Believe me if it is possible to misunderstand something then people will.
