Business Nonverbal Communication





There are also other very important elements of business nonverbal communication you should cater for, especially when your status it’s higher than the other. I don’t know exactly which element it’s the most important of all those said by me, all that I know it’s that you’re career will be a successful one if you’ll try to include in your behavior all those said about me in these articles. Maybe, on the moment, you won’t see how important they are or how much they’ve helped you but you’ll soon realize that having a sincere smile, a firm handshake, an impeccable array and a straight body’s posture doesn’t cost you nothing but, in exchange, brings you lots of advantages.




-Take care about your image: You must have an immaculate array. You must opt for a very comfortable array. This one must be adapted to circumstances. Watch those who achieve this thing and take them as an example.

-Sometimes, the silence it’s an ace! Knowing when to shut up is a human quality, loved since ancient times. Even, through silence, some people communicate something: approval, disapproval, discretion, reason, keeping a mystery, awe. A manager turns to silence as a means of nonverbal communication because:

- disapprove certain views and does not want to argue

- believes there are certain facts, circumstances over which is better to fall silent

- Not willing to disclose a secret service, a secret

- do not want to harm someone

- Estimates that time solves a delicate problem while speaking he can make enemies. On the other hand, using carefully silence in key moments – in other words preparing to listen somebody- we can encourage the speaker to continue or to express feelings and attitudes that undoubtedly would not otherwise have done. Silence is thus a powerful tool communications, but it should be used with skill.

-The colors language: colors influence the business nonverbal communication. They highlight human attitude towards life and towards others. The colored clothes used by manager tell us a few things about him.

Colors and their significance:

-red: sentimental man;

-pink: he likes to love, to be loved, to take care for others;

-orange: he is organized and determined to achieve his plan;

-yellow: he wants to discuss;

-green: he likes changes;

-blue: he is inventive;

-black: he knows very well what his tasks are.

The color significance is different in other cultures. For example: while black is the color of sadness in Europe, in China and Japan whiteness means sadness. Warm colors (red, orange, yellow) promotes communication and the cold promotes (gray, green, blue) inhibit. Communication heavy takes the place when the colors are monotone or too powerful or various.

Finally, each man adapts these non-verbal language elements to his own lifestyle.
