Don't continue to make the typical mistakes that brand the poor writer. You will enjoy the increased respect your writing will receive. Sure, you may need an hour or more to check one of these points, but once you learn it, consider the time you will save over a career-and the rewards. Never stop trying to be a better writer. If you do, don't expect promotion.
Writing is the skill indispensable to advancement.
