Key ideas in Email Cc & Bcc Etiquette

  • The 'To' field is for the person expected to reply or perform a task
  • Cc-ing a leader provides them 'passive' visibility into a project
  • The 'Cc' field is for people who only need the context for their own awareness
  • A manager in Cc acts as a silent endorsement of the email's importance
  • Putting an action-taker in Cc often leads to the task being ignored
  • Cc-ing a manager does not shift the responsibility of replying to them
  • Distinguishing between the primary recipient and a Cc recipient based on action requirements
  • Understanding the signal sent by Cc-ing a manager
  • The 'No Surprises' rule means Cc-ing anyone whose schedule or workload changes based on the email
  • Cc-ing stakeholders prevents them from finding out about changes second-hand
  • Impacted parties need the Cc to adjust their own planning immediately
  • Cc creates a shared archive across multiple people's inboxes
  • A 'paper trail' in Cc provides proof of what was communicated and who was aware of it
  • Cc-ing teammates ensures the history isn't lost if one person leaves the company
  • Identifying who needs to be Cc-ed based on potential impact
  • Recognizing the value of Cc as a historical record
