TGIF? Be prepared for slow responses

Friday is a special day for most employees -- the unofficial beginning of the weekend. That doesn't mean letting your employees slough off, but be aware that you may not get the response you expect if you call a meeting, send out an e-mail requesting immediate action, or launch a survey.

If possible, wait until Monday. If not possible, take some extra time to emphasize the need for a timely response so employees know you're serious about the issue.
