Dutch term or phrase: man zonder franjes
Het is geen geheim dat XXXXX (il direttore recentemente andato in pensione) een man zonder franjes is.

Si intende (credo): un uomo 'no nonsense', cioè uno che dice quel che pensa senza farsi troppi problemi...

In italiano: "che non ha peli sulla lingua", "uomo franco"?
Voi cosa direste? Altre proposte?

Explanation:
che va dritto al punto (variante di quello che ha proposto Francesca), che non ci gira intorno, che non ha peli sulla lingua (che a me piace), che non la manda a dire, per niente diplomatico.
Hai solo l'imbarazzo della scelta!
