Melissa Harris-Perry: People will take as much as you give them. If your boss is a night owl and you're a morning person, we don't want to interrupt that flow. She says sending emails at 11pm when people are exhausted or getting ready for bed is not the best time to try to seed a new idea. "Find other ways to effectively communicate," she says.
