It is such a great joy to study managers! This should be a special course in psychology. Just few minutes back I came to know the advantages of using the statement: 'We will discuss this offline'. It is good way to avoid a very logical (as well illogical) answer if the manager does not want to listen to you. It was very much a situation where a software tool was being discussed. And there were some people who showed that since they do not know that software, they are unable to proceed ahead. Well, I don't know how much time they would need to learn a new video game rather than this silly software. But that fellow's manager stops me in between and instead of listening to a solution that I had, says, 'We will discuss this offline'.
God bless managers!
