Ever receive a random calendar invite from a colleague with no description, no context, and a generic subject line? Maybe you sometimes send these yourself. 😬 Cross-functional calendar invites without context can cause a range of emotions: anxiety, fear, confusion. No one is usually ever excited to see that calendar invite pop up in their inbox from a cross-functional Director to chat on Friday about… well, you’re not really sure.
