10 Commandments of Effective Communication

Someone on one of the US comms forums I frequent asked for the 10 commandments of effective communication.

Now I don't know if there is any right way to communicate (though there are plenty of wrongs). But the Shanahan communication commandments are:

Be honest
Focus on audience needs
Be straightforward
Be open to new ideas
Keep it simple
Measure
Learn
Reflect
Refresh
Challenge

......and don't covet your neighbour's ox!
