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. That sounds like basic literacy, but many people don't bother applying it, and as soon as any complexity arises they demand a meeting. Even if the clear email is "here'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," that's good! I had a manager who when I sent a carefully worded email would immediately call me over and ask "what was that email about?"
