Clear communication in writing! So if I need to ask you something, I can send you a clear email and expect you to read it, think about it, and formulate a clear answer.<p>That sounds like basic literacy, but many people don&#x27;t bother applying it, and as soon as any complexity arises they demand a meeting.<p>Even if the clear email is &quot;here&#x27;s what I think about point 1; as for point 2, I would appreciate a meeting because I have a bunch of questions that would be easier face-to-face,&quot; that&#x27;s good!<p>I had a manager who when I sent a carefully worded email would immediately call me over and ask &quot;what was that email about?&quot;
