29. The Power of ‘Should’ and ‘Must’: Setting Clear Expectations in Emails and Meetings
Description
Have you ever felt like your emails or meetings left room for misinterpretation? The words should and must may seem small, but they’re powerful tools for setting clear expectations and ensuring tasks are completed as intended.
In this episode, discover how to use should to encourage collaboration and must to establish firm priorities. We’ll share practical examples like:
- We should review the draft by Thursday to ensure accuracy.
- The final report must be submitted by Monday to meet the deadline.
Learn how to strike the right tone, avoid common pitfalls, and communicate effectively in both emails and meetings.
