BODY LANGUAGE SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT BILL GATES nypost.com
Well, maybe. This is reaching, I just picked it up because it was on the news.com page, I've never been to the nypost site. One quote, without comment.
For someone making his first appearance in Congress, he came across as sincere and likable, but there was one troubling moment I saw. Perhaps the senators noticed,too.
It's the kind of mistake that can ruin a CEO's message.
At one point, Bill was making a fairly factual, accepted statement - "The rapid introduction of the Internet is the most exciting example of innovation in the march of progress."
But as he was saying this very positive statement, his head was shaking "no," and he made this tight insincere smile. This is clearly a contradiction between mind and body.
It was strange and I honestly don't know what to make of it. He's obviously been coached by image consultants on how to handle himself, and made scores of speeches, but he slipped up on this one.
Cheers, Dan. |
