Nothing Beats Snail Mail (Google Proves It)

I'm happy to hear that snail mail still is recognized as an effective way to personally communicate. In this email-facebook message-140 character twitter-age, the personal touch can get easily lost.

As leaders, we always need to assume that even though we send out an email, even though we send a message through Facebook, that doesn't mean we've communicated effectively and personally. Nothing beats a phone call, a face-to-face communique, or better yet, a handwritten note.

Don't believe me? Consider Google's comments and it's latest initiative for people this Christmas.

(I know it's not a handwritten postcard, but it is impressive that the internet giant Google recognizes the unique personal touch a postcard possesses).
