Why It's Of Value To Pick Up the Phone
Picking up the phone can be the simplest way to reconnect with a team member. It's much more personal than sending an email. What I found is picking up the phone I get an instant response, and of course that relies on the person being at their desk, or having their cell phone/mobile with them. These days that's fairly common. Get into the habit of picking up the phone first, then if you can't get the person, send an email.
