Communicating Bad News at Work – Part 1
Bad news is rife in the world of business and employment today. It’s a fact of life as companies struggle to get to grips with the subdued economy. If you’re managing or supervising staff, there’s a fair chance you’ll find yourself delivering unsavoury news to your team at one point or another, and how you choose to communicate that news can make a huge difference.
“No one ever wants to receive bad news, and no one wants to communicate it either,” says business communications specialist Lynn Gaertner-Johnston. “It is a huge communication challenge that requires great care, especially if the news is upsetting rather than merely inconvenient.”
Breaking such news can be a nerve racking and difficult experience for even the most seasoned business communicator, but if you find yourself passing on bad tidings at work consider following some of these tips to help ease the pain:
- Use multiple channels: don’t just focus on e-mail. E-mail tends to be a cold and sterile medium, unfeeling and stark. While e-mail may well be the most efficient communication tool, you should try to augment it with other, more personal channels of communication. Pick up the phone, arrange a person-to-person meetings or organise an online meetings or video conference to add a more personal and caring element to the message.
- Keep people updated: there’s nothing worse than dropping a bombshell of an announcement and then clamming up. Keep the information flowing, provide frequent updates and volunteer additional information as it becomes available. People tend to take bad news on-board gradually, but once the central message sinks in they’ll be looking for more information. Be sure to provide it if you can.
- Don’t try to hide it: shielding people from bad news by concealing it is always a bad move. When the inevitable happens and the news leaks out, the fallout will be far worse. Be open, honest and up front about the reality of the situation.
- Don’t delay: sitting on the fence isn’t a particularly clever strategy when it comes to delivering bad news. When the news does break the fact that you knew about it for some time before passing it on will erode trust and raise suspicion about your motives. The trust of your team is hard won and crucial to your success… don’t jeopardise it.
- Be professional: use appropriate language tailored to your audience, and always be professional. Take particular care before deciding to use emoticons like frowning faces and slang terms.
- Temper the message: if you can do so legitimately, try and include a snippet of good news to soften the blow. Downsizing a department is very bad news for some, of course, but if it ultimately saves people’s jobs and makes the company more viable that’s good.
- Don’t gloss over the negatives: while highlighting a positive aspect or outcome is a good thing, don’t attempt to disguise the negative message with positive language and corporate “spin” for the sake of it. Bad news doesn’t become any sweeter with a saccharine veneer.
Don’t forget to look out for part two of this article for more tips to help you deliver bad news more effectively.

Buying a New Digital Camera
It’s the eternal newbie question and rightly so I would think.Buying a new camera can be a very daunting thing, especially for the newcomers to photography who are still grappling with terms like ‘megapixels’, ‘f-stop’ and ‘focal length’. These newbies are lucky enough to be starting out in what can be a wonderful, fulfilling and rewarding art and buying your first camera, is as exciting as buying your very first car.Sadly though, it’s like a minefield out there. The dream camera can be seen on the horizon, but to get there you need to avoid the hundreds of ‘wrong camera’ mines…. perhaps you may even need to cop a few long the way?What camera should I buy?…It’s a question to which I will never give a defined answer. In fact, just like “Does my bum look big in this?”, it’s a question where there simply is no right answer.Photography is a subjective art, right from the moment that you pick up a camera, until the viewer is looking at your image. What appeals to one, may not appeal to another. So here is how I don’t answer the question….What is the intended use?…There is no need to go buy the latest and greatest 20+ megapixel DSLR, if you only intend to take happy snaps and print them at 6×4 or just keep them on the computer. Also, it would be crazy to buy that megapixel monster if your intention is to carry it in your pocket, because with a DSLR that is not going to happen!So think about your needs and how you intend to use the camera. This should lead you towards buying a compact, a mid-sized camera or that megapixel monster.How many megapixels?…Again “intended use”. Small prints or computer viewing of images do not need heaps of megapixels. Most cameras have reasonable resolution these days, so an 8-12 megapixel camera is readily available in compacts, mid-sized and DSLRs. These will be more than enough to make A3 prints with good clarity.Yes you can get higher megapixel counts, but ask yourself “Do I really need them?” In a nutshell “if you intend to print big, go big” is a good rule of thumb.What camera is the easiest to use?…There would be very few cameras that don’t have a “full auto” mode that allows the photographer to simply point and shoot. But ease of use extends far beyond that. Think about the ergonomics (how the camera fits your hands), the use of the menu and how it is structured. Can you change quickly and easily from one shooting style to another?…that kind of thing.These will be quite personal and opinions will vary greatly from person to person. So “hands on” is the only way. Go to your local camera store and pick one up, shoot a few shots, delve into the menu operations and get a good feel for how the camera operates.Which has the best image quality?…This will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, from camera to camera. So find your need first, then seek out image samples from cameras that meet your criteria. Online review sites such as DPReview are a great resource for images and these can be used to compare. Delve deep into the “full size” images at 100% viewing size and find what appeals to “you”.As a landscape photographer, I like lots of detail and neutral colour, but a wedding/portrait photographer may rather a little less micro-detail and a slighter warmer base tone to images. Cameras are tools and when you are driving a nail, you need a hammer. It’s all about the right tool for the job.”What lens do I need?”…Very good question! There is no point buying a camera body, if the lens you want or need is not available for it. So now you need to think about the “system”. Try to look forward, what will I need down the track, will the x,y or z manufacturer be able to meet my need? Thinking about the system and what additional equipment you need now and into the future, may well turn your head in another direction.As a starter however, a zoom lens that offers both wide-angle and moderate zoom is a great place to start. Try and avoid the massive zoom ranges, as these generally make compromises in order to achieve the extended range and these can often lead to a little less image quality. They are very convenient however, so if you are willing to trade a bit of image quality for single lens convenience, then that is your call.My budget is only $XXXX…Budget is the biggest killjoy. I doesn’t matter if we are buying a house, a car or a camera, that darn “budget” just keeps raising its ugly head.:(Obviously budget will be the ultimate deciding factor for many and my advice is to not overextend… on anything! Car, house, camera… whatever! If you can’t afford it, then don’t buy it! Buy something that is within your means, as the stress and ultimate heartache of losing it in the end should not be endured.When thinking about your budget, think about this… “Camera bodies come and go, but good glass can last a lifetime”. So if you have the extra coin, invest in the better glass, perhaps even drop down one body model to allow for that glass, as you can always update the body later.Cameras are getting cheaper all the time and if you are a newbie, perhaps you could learn the ropes on a much smaller camera to begin with. This would also allow you time to find out more about your own needs and likes with regard to your new art.So there is my NON-answer. Just a whole bunch of things to think about when making your decision. I may not have given you the answer you wanted to hear. I may not have made your decision any easier, but I am sure that when it is made you will feel a lot more comfortable about it.
