Proactive communication answering the question before it's asked, or offering solutions to impending problems is key. Prompt and transparent communication can diffuse a difficult situation without avoiding the issue or offending the concerned party.
The worst time to buy a fire extinguisher is the day after your house burns down. As with establishing effective communication expectations early on, developing a crisis management plan before you need it will allow you to effectively deal with unexpected problems.
