One to one communication details as follows:
Work in one common way to communicate is nothing more than four kinds: IM, telephone, interviews, Email, as shown below:
IM: the lowest cost, not suitable for emergency communication unimportant. In fact, work is not recommended using IM, you did not say even faster typing fast, inefficient and prone to stray from the point. But IM also has his killer application scenarios:
In principle, more than twenty-three can understand that things have to dial call waiting, interviews also ran more harm than good
Not just the kind of informed discussion, as long as they know, or simply reply on the line, such as "help me find you do not have time now leader"
Not urgent things to worry about when to disturb each other, such as "Boss, I mention a process, free Pixia"
For some weak communication skills, you can communicate via IM, because when you type will come out to organize language by thinking, and sometimes interview would not speak through the brain, often a say regret it. Let us think about love when texting and the number of messages is not to be more than the number of calls.

When the complexity of the problem, not telling anyone to worry about misunderstanding, gestures rush to face it. In fact, very often you find interviews efficiency, because timely feedback and confirmation, for which owners often flying on to see individuals, indeed Telephone, Email not solve the problem.
Share an experience, are asking each other's communication scene, personally went to recommending an interview on the other side seat to find him, do not let him come pick or somewhere else. Because people are always too embarrassed to refuse a request in person, this time if you send Email it was tragic, the other reason may be carefully worded to give you a high-sounding turned you down.
