Check the Tone—It Might Be Yours

The tone you think you hear in an email often reflects your opinion of the sender or your current mood, not their actual intent.

🛑 Pause before reacting
🧠 Consider context, not just content
💬 When in doubt, talk it out

Don’t let assumptions drive your response.

Skill Can’t Excuse Culture Misalignment

If a highly skilled hire is acting against your stated and desired culture, don’t wait to address it.

⏳ The longer it goes unchecked,
➡️ The harder it becomes to resolve
🚫 And the more it erodes team trust

Culture fit matters as much as capability.
