Brevity is Something Everyone Should Learn In Order To Communicate Effectively
Always figure out the best way to make a long story short. People just don't have time for the long version of anything these days. Save the extra details for their questions. If they don't ask any, you've done well, so go about your merry way and value their time. They'll sincerely appreciate this.
Also, it seems those in leadership and management positions have one thing in common - their attention span is extremely short and they lose interest quickly. This is because they (and you) are pressed for time. So respect their time, and yours, and keep it brief.
If you can get your point across quickly and directly, with tact and professionalism - you'll become a highly valued person in the organization. No one likes those who ramble on and on, wasting everyone's time. Today, more than everm time is of the essence.
One more thing - be careful not to allow what you say to be read into, as you keep things brief and concise. Strive to make things crystal clear, avoid confusion, and keep it simple - because less is more!
