When writing important memos, policies, instructions and/or global communications, ask a co-worker or fellow manager to read your document before you distribute it. Sometimes, she (or he) can help you tweak the tone to better fit your document's audience. It likely won't take much time for your co-worker to review your document. In my experience, every time I've asked a fellow employees to preview a document, they've always had good suggestions for improvement.

If an employee’s work is beginning to suffer, or if you suspect that you might need to dismiss someone due to poor performance, it’s vital that you document the individual’s behavior and the steps you’ve taken in attempting to correct it.
