Interpreting and and using nonverbal communication, (The Psychological Edge) Joe Dysart Drug Topics. 133.10 (May 15, 1989): p74. Copyright: COPYRIGHT 1989 Advanstar Communications, Inc. http://www.drugtopics.com Full Text: INTERPRETING AND USING NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION No matter how carefully you choose your words when speaking with employees, word choice has only a 7% impact in personto-person communication. Much more potent, according to Walter D. St. John, president of the Management Communications Institute in Temple, Me., is facial expression. The face projects 55% of the overall message, he says, and oral presentation has a 38% impact. That's reason enough to try to ensure that your nonverbal communication cues don't undermine your conversations with employees and associates. Besides remaining cognizant of elementary facial cues-such as nodding and shaking the head, remember that lowering the head, peering over glasses, or cocking the head to one side generally indicates skepticism, St. John advised pharmacists. Anger, he said, is usually manifested most intensely in the lower face, brows, and forehead, whereas generous eye contact generally indicates a person who is friendly and open to communication. Even when facial expressions are mastered for more effective communication, hands and feet can betray unpleasant thoughts and emotions, St. John warned. Perceptive managers know that an employee's smiling face can be belied by a beating foot or frequent leg shifting-telltale signs of anxiety or tension, There's also much to be deciphered from voice patterns. Loud, rapid, or high-pitched voices often indicate anger. Boredom is expressed in a monotone. Remember to account for regional differences and the overall context of a message when transmitting or interpreting nonverbal cues, St. John advised. Simply seizing on one body cue to make an overall judgment on a person's inner thoughts would be ill advised. Those cues must be brought together to form a composite analysis. Allow leeway for regional colloquialisms. One kinesics expert (student of nonverbal communication) St. John knows can often identify a Wisconsin native simply by the movement of the eyebrows. Most pharmacists are interested in ways to communicate more positively with their employees, and St. John has a few concrete suggestions toward that end: * Furniture. Don't arrange your office furniture as a barrier between you and the employee, and don't back a visitor up against the wall. * Aesthetics. Remain aware of your office's appearance, Pleasant surroundings encourage like moods, and ugly surroundings can undermine good communication. *Distance. Don't exaggerate status difference by placing an inordinate physical distance between you and your employee. Close proximity indicates warmth. * Posture. Stay cognizant of overall posture. Closed postures-arms and legs crossed, leaning away from a person-indicate dislike. Open positions, and forward leaning, convey the opposite. *Animation. Use gestures, especially with relaxed, open palms, often. A lack of animation generally conveys negativity. Source Citation (MLA 8th Edition) Dysart, Joe.

Introduction
This article justifies that fact that non-verbal communication skills are very essential
during the process of interacting with others in different environmental setups. The choice of
words used by organizational managers when commanding employees will always determine the
ability of the organization to attain a competitive advantage or not. Therefore, nonverbal cues
used by organizational managers should not in any way affect employees negativ...
