 **The person who tells the most compelling story wins**. Not the best idea. Just the story that catches people's attention and gets them to nod their heads. Tell people what they want to hear and you can be wrong indefinitely without penalty. [Crafting and telling stories is part of what makes humans humans](https://www.notboring.co/p/story-time). Stories let us coordinate across time and space.
 
 - **You can not not communicate**. Not discussing the elephant in the room is communicating. Few things are as important to study, practice, and perfect as clear communication.
 - Whenever possible, communicate directly with those you're addressing rather than passing the message through intermediaries.
 - Communication between [a large group](https://twitter.com/RichRogers_/status/1159872097205805056) is hard. Noise in the processes might change the message and cause conflicts.  Nuance is hard to convey in groups.
 - Some tips to simplify communications:
-	- Use a few bullet points to put attention on the main points you want to convey.
-	- Without going overboard, use a tasteful amount of graphic design (e.g: bolding one key sentence).
-	- Break up a giant nuanced block into sections.
-	- If something is critical, make it visual.

 - [[Design Docs]] should have an explicit place, also acting as an historical log.
 - [[Documentation]] should have a common entry point to increase discovery. Each team can have it’s own [[processes]] on top.
 - At a company level, each team documents differently. To make the most of that, grow the knowledge organically and locally, not top down. Each team should have its own permissionless and open way of working and should be made public to the rest of the company. That way they can evolve the system to fit their needs. Then, there is a standard protocol to share information between teams.

 - Add as much information to your tickets/issues as possible. If the tickets/issues are any good, you'll find relevant tickets with links and extra information.
