This is a set of guidelines to clear and productive communication.

1. Say what you have to say. Don't try to avoid topics or expressions that you think might have an adverse effect on the other person. Adaptation of information is best left to receiver, because in this case only one translation of context is performed.
2. Ask what you want to ask. Same as above.
3. Tell truth. If you don't know, say you don't know. If you want to jest/hyperbole, it's on you if it's not understood, and if asked to clarify,speak as verbosely as you can.
4. If you don't want something you say to be disclosed, clearly preface it with a policy.
