BLUF: A military standard to make writing more powerful
This mode of writing has its strength, unfortunately it also encourages a lazy and low detail mode of communication when applied to places it doesn&#x27;t belong.<p>I have had the experience of working in an environment with ex-military folks installed in leadership positions, the BLUF style of communication was standard issue.<p>One problem this style of communication has when applied to a non-military work environment is that top-down communication ends up taking the form of commands, as opposed to actually conveying information that would enlighten the reader.
