SILENCE on part of anyone has to be interpreted in the right way - be it a colleague, boss, subordinate, spouse,
friend, partner, child, family member, accomplice, banker, customer, vendor, etc.
Proper understanding of SILENCE is a prerequisite & quintessential for Management educators & practicioners to be effective,.
It has a lot of hidden meaning -- much more than what is obvious.

Silence can be used to achieve various objectives and hence needs to be used with utmost care as it is greatly open to misinterpretation. Moreover, since it can be used towards varied ends, it is important to observe the person's non-verbal cues or read between the lines, so as to arrive at the right meaning of the silence adopted by the communicator/listener.Falling silent: One may either be too astounded by what one hears or may pause to reflect upon/gather one's thoughts on the topic under consideration. This is referred to as falling silent.Silence as consent: Silence may be used to reflect agreement, especially if it follows rhetorical questions. For example, if after a long discussion if someone were to say, so I guess we should go ahead, and the other person keeps silent, it could be taken as consent
