Silent people are often victims of misunderstandings of their colleagues and superiors. The fact that an employee says barely half a word for the entire day does not mean that he works ineffectively or does not like people. He can be an introvert or a person who is more restrained at work than in his private life. He is likely to be more productive when working alone even though he can be beneficial to the whole team, too. That is why CareerBuilder.com pointed out to unnecessary myths surrounding the less eloquent employees and advised employees not to judge anyone just because he was not too chatty.
Silent employees have nothing to say
Just because someone speaks less than his colleagues, it certainly does not mean that he cannot be the greatest expert in the whole team.
Silent employees are fearful
In fact, they may be introverts who prefer to work alone.
Silent employees are antisocial
Try to get more familiar with your silent colleagues and you might be surprised how they behave outside the office and how many friends they have.
Silent employees do not like their colleagues
Quietness cannot automatically be regarded as a precursor of indifference or hostility. They are just different personalities that have different communication styles.
Silent employees think they are better than others
Quietness should not be confused with arrogance and haughtiness either. First, try to get to know each other better.
Silent employees do not believe in themselves
Is it so weird that some people let the results of their work speak for themselves more than their words?
Silent employees are not good leaders
Introverts are more modest and more think about what they are doing. That is a good start for a leader. You know what they say - still waters run deep.
