Communication

"My team has one rule regarding communication: when you talk to one another, you look each other in the eye. Eye contact is an important act of mutual respect but also enforces the most crucial element of communicating: telling the truth." - Mike Krzyzewski

I have room to improve here. I wonder if it's more common for men or women to make better eye contact? I've heard it said that men tend to communicate side-by-side (think of driving in a truck or sitting at a bar) since face-to-face can suggest confrontation, whereas women are more face-to-face since it suggests intimacy. When your wife names your eyes as her favorite physical feature, you should show 'em!
