I know Meeks has been debated heavily here, but I don't know how you guys do it. I couldn't type all of that. I'm not an executive but in my version of employment reality nobody is reading all of that.
In fact funny story. We do a yearly regional leadership conference with some trainingat my work. The first year I went as a manager we had a lecture on "writing voice" where they were teaching up to write in a concise but converstational tone. They then put up some examples of recent emails and we had to rewrite them to make them "better". First example was mine! Of course my name had been omitted but I was like WTF. This was years ago when I thought i needed a bunch of fluff.
My MADM 760 with Harrision has been great. I highly recommend it. Perfect mix of busy work and independent study.

Anyone coming out of these heavy writing classes, expecting that it will be useful in actual work will be sorely disappointed. They will put in a ton of time to fluff it all up, and when they hand it to an executive the first thing they will hear is:
Can you summarize this in about a page?
From dozens of VPs to CEO's, I have yet to meet a senior executive that wants to look at something more than a page unless it's REALLY super serious or legal type stuff (or graphs).

Yup, it's completely counterintuitive to the real world. Typical academia. The only reason I'm pushing through is that dropping wasn't an option. I had to finish this course, this term, to graduate this term and be done.
