A recent class included en passant some admirable guidelines for productive social interaction. Three candidate rules for life:
- No surprises! --- keep everyone informed of all relevant developments, so nobody gets blindsided by bad news or needlessly thrown into an embarrassing situation
- No enemies! --- disagree when necessary, but don't hold grudges; today's adversary may be tomorrow's ally on a more important issue
- No panics! --- don't over-react; take a deep breath and put the crisis du jour into a larger perspective
