> Often I will send emails with direct requests asking "what time is good for everyone?" and not receive a response at all. Be more proactive. Make things easy for the people you’re communicating with. Don’t send e-mails asking others to schedule your meeting for you. Send an e-mail with a proposed time. Include a meeting invite. Tell people to inform you if the time doesn’t work. More broadly: It doesn’t sound like the rest of the company is struggling to communicate with each other, but rather that they’re not communicating in the exact way you prefer. There is no singular “right” way for a company to communicate. Part of good communication is learning to adapt to how the company interacts with each other. If the company likes phone calls, it’s time to learn how to like phone calls. Pick up the phone and make the call for someone you know isn’t going to read their email for a while. Learn the art of quick phone calls and keeping it short. Gradually try to use more email and let people know that you prefer email for yourself, but you’re not going to have much success if you try to force the rest of the company to change their entire communication style to match your personal preference.
