In the workplace, there are times when your message needs to be crystal clear. Maybe it’s to give some important instructions, get information to make a decision, or to correct a performance problem. In these and similar cases, there is no room for 90% of the point to get lost.
On the receiving end of communication (also known as listening), we feel we have to respond to everything. Why do humans insist on filling the airwaves with more noise and call it communication? Silence is so soothing, peaceful, and necessary. In communicating at work, there are times when pausing can be more strategic than talking. I challenge to give the pause a try.

When I was a kid, my dad didn’t have to yell or threaten a spanking to get me to settle down. He simply had to assume the “hairy eyeball” facial expression and not say a word. The though of it still gives me shivers. His intentional pause let me know (ironically, loud and clear) that he meant business. It’s brilliant!
