How do you communicate?

Do you think most people weren't nervous while talking to their new boss at their first job 20 years ago?

Personally, I like either talking to someone in person or sending them an e-mail. I hate using the phone because I'm a really visual speaker and tend to use gestures and need to actually draw things out while I'm talking and I completely lose that on the phone. My hearing's also really wonky and I've never been good at understanding what people are saying over the phone.

E-mail can be very impersonal, but how personal do you actually need to be when you're working?

Generally if you're working on a team and want to have a strong group dynamic, fairly personal.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
