In 2008, Bob Nardelli delivered news that Chrysler would lay off one quarter (1/4) of its white collar managers. Read his email and then rewrite it to make it more effective. Link: Bob Nardelli Bad News Message Items that you should address in your rewrite are: . Structure - does the entire structure of the message make sense; Is it too wordy? Are items mentioned out of ordefr? - Urgency - is there a sense of urgency conveyed about the processes that are about to occur? If not, how can you clarify the process - /Unnecessary Content - are there parts of this that can be reduced or excluded altoghter? . Stakeholders - is it clear who these changes will affect (can you use subheaders more effectively to outline things) . Clarity - is the main point buried in the riddle? what is this news message trying to say? Does he get to the point? Does he ramble? Are there any acronyms that need explaining? . Questions - where do people go for further answers or if they have questions? Is this addressed? If not, take some license and create means for them to do so- is there a hotline for them to call, an email, or a company intranet/website for more information? Submit to Blackboard
