I'm spoilt in my current role - a small team of about 16 people, we all sit together on the same floor and are encouraged by our MD to talk, talk, talk. Emails are deliberately kept to a minimum and used more as a tool of record or to send files etc. If we have questions, walking (OK, sometimes shouting!) across the office is positively encouraged, and even in our dealings with our head office in the US, everyone is on Skype so that, again, we don't resort to plonking out an email and thinking our job is done. Who was it used to say "it's good to talk"? Hi Philippa
