Section [-]: Understanding Your Boss' Body Language
Mental Wisdom Call:

In the workplace, reading your boss' body language will help you understand his intentions more accurately.

Skillful in control:

If your boss looks away while talking to you, it means that your visit just now interrupted something important. He is thinking about that matter, and although he is receiving you, he is absent-minded.

1. The boss looks at people from top to bottom.This is a sign of superiority—dominant, conceited.

2. The boss stares at the subordinate for a long time, indicating that he is waiting for more information, and the impression of the subordinate is not clear yet.

3. The boss looks at the subordinate friendly and frankly, or sometimes winks at the subordinate - the subordinate is very capable, he likes him, and even his mistakes can be forgiven by him.

4. The boss's eyes are sharp and his expression remains unchanged, as if a sharp sword wants to see through his subordinates.This is a display of power, ruthlessness, and superiority, and at the same time signals to subordinates: Don't try to deceive me, I can read your mind.

5. The boss glances up occasionally, and then looks down after meeting the eyes of the subordinate. If you do this many times, you can be sure that the boss still doesn't understand the subordinate.

6. The boss stares into the room, nodding slightly from time to time.This is a very bad signal, indicating that the boss wants his subordinates to obey him completely, no matter what the subordinates say or think, he will ignore them.

In addition, when dealing with a boss, observing his eyes and hands can give us insight into his heart.

The boss puts his hands together and presses down from top to bottom. The body acts as a balance, expressing gentleness and calmness.Hands on hips, elbows out, this is a traditional body language of commanding people, and it is often used when encountering specific power issues.The boss sits on the chair, leans back, puts his hands behind his head, and spreads his elbows outward. This certainly shows that he is relaxed at this time, but it may also mean conceited.The index finger is stretched out and pointed at the other party - a naked sense of superiority and aggressiveness.Putting your hands behind your back and clasping each other is also an expression of superiority.The boss pats his subordinates on the shoulder - the recognition and appreciation of the subordinates, but only from the side can it express real recognition and appreciation.If you shoot from the front or from above, it means that you underestimate your subordinates or show your power.Fingers together, hands forming a pyramid shape, fingertips facing forward - be sure to dismiss the other party's gesture.

No matter in life or in the workplace, anyone who speaks will be accompanied by expressions of body language.The same is true for the boss's speech. It is very important for subordinates to understand the boss's body language.
