Too much context buries what matters; too little forces follow-up questions. The trick is matching your detail level to what your manager actually needs to decide and act.
- Remind your manager where you left off and be explicit about what you need from them—don't make them guess whether this is an FYI or a request for approval.
- Cut details that don't serve your main point (like exact dates when relative time matters), but add more context when decisions are irreversible, expensive, or customer-facing.
- Lead with your recommendation and reasoning, then put supporting details below so your manager can read as much or as little as needed.
