[ Simplify ]

The ability to take a complex topic and simplify it should be the goal of every person who works in complex roles. But simplifying is a classic case of ‘easier said than done’. 

The reports, articles, and emails with enormous amounts of content but for which the intent or purpose is not clear, have not been simplified.  The writers probably have felt that they need to fill the page to prove knowledge.  Though in many cases, less is more.
