Gesture & etiquette
Phone — calm urgent tone, not panicked. Have the key facts in writing in front of you. Once they confirm time, get to the point in one sentence then elaborate.
Urgent contact: chat first ('お電話してもよろしいでしょうか'), then call. Never call without notice for urgent matters during meetings or focus time. Always confirm available time before launching into the urgent content. State the matter concisely (one sentence) then offer detail. End with next steps and timeline.
