Written communication, with a special focus on “writing for an audience” (and by that I mean understanding what your audience needs and not trying to impress them). My company is now almost entirely remote and my team works with a lot of internal stakeholders. Being able to write clearly in a way that makes sense to your target audience is seriously underrated. Some people may think it’s “just” IM and Email but it makes a huge difference, at least for me.

Yes, in the past week I've had two unclear emails from lower level staff. The second one I picked up on the error quickly, the first had me chasing my tail for a while. Words have meanings, and learning to use industry jargon correctly is important.

A million times this, like fuck me I'm from the IM/SMS generation but I swear the ability to write a decent email is god tier. One solid email can save tens of man hours of meeting time.
