When To Speak Up or Be Quiet

When To Speak Up or Be Quiet

Excellent summary and research on when to speak up and when to be quiet from Wharton Business School:

Time your remarks according to:

•Relevance (is comment relevant to managers and peers?)

•Readiness (is idea strong enough to be presented?)

•Receptivity (is your audience receptive?)

The authors conclude that high performers practice “strategic silence” when they time their remarks using the above criteria.
