Beware the Hazards of Email
It’s important to remember a key lesson about one of the core communication tools of organizations. Email was and still is problematic.
Although it is certainly efficient, email is often ineffective, and potentially damaging to building work relationships. Perhaps because it carries more weight as a “record” of a conversation, seems to leave more room for someone to read tone into your message that you didn’t intend. In those instances, email is much more likely to harm existing relationships than build connections between people.
“We have to get off email and pick up the phone, call our clients and walk down the hall and speak to our peers, because tone makes a gigantic difference in the way somebody receives information,” said Steve Stoute, the founder and CEO of UnitedMasters. “You need tone and mannerisms to build relationships."
2024 Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup First Look: The Version You Can Buy
What happened to the swoopy stunner Ram showed off earlier this year at the 2023 CES in Las Vegas? The production-ready version of the 2024 Ram 1500 REV sort of carries over the concept's LED-tastic front end and lighting but slaps them onto what looks like a conventional ICE Ram 1500.
Details about the truck's power, battery size, range, and other metrics are not yet finalized. We do know the truck will have an 800-volt electrical architecture, incorporate its dual motors and battery within the frame rails, and utilize a fully independent suspension.
Ram so far continues to promise only that the 2024 1500 REV will "push past the competition in areas customers care about the most: range, payload, towing, and charge time," per brand CEO, Mike Koval, Jr.
