Impatient and Polite



Those who are impatient and impolite may shout and pound tables. There is little mystery as to what they want. 

Those who are impatient and polite will give a look - a subtle one - and either change their request or leave. You need to watch carefully for their signal because they won't explain it but their position is clear to those who listen for the indirect and who study body language.

These are people who disdain shouting and who don't like to explain. They want to be read.

"I think that went well" is the verdict of the message-oriented many who've left a meeting which was a quiet disaster. 

It did go well on the surface.
