This entry is part 1 of 7 in the series A CAD Manager's Demeanor<\/a><\/div>

This is the start of a new series on the interactions that a CAD\/BIM Manager has with staff, clients, bosses and just about anyone.\u00a0 I will focus on the mannerisms, approach, demeanor and presence that they have with others. How they present themselves.\u00a0 What they project. How they respond.\u00a0 These will be the unspoken items that leave impressions on people beyond the spoken words.\u00a0 They may include facial expressions, body language, stance, etc.<\/p>\n

First impressions matter, but I am not one to be overly concerned about individual items in this list.\u00a0 It is the collective impression that is left behind.\u00a0 It is usually not just one interaction, since we usually get multiple opportunities to exchange info and ideas with others.<\/p>\n

But have you though about how you interact with others and how your demeanor encourages or stifles openness.\u00a0 Being aware of how you posture yourself when collaborating with others can allow you to adjust.\u00a0 Taking stock of your mannerisms may bring to light some unexpected perceptions by others that you never meant to project.<\/p>\n

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking that the other person did not hear a word you said?\u00a0 That they would not make any adjustments going forward based on your advice, even though they said they would.\u00a0 Have you thought that the person actually wrote off everything you mentioned before you even finished the conversation? I bet it was because they held themselves in a defensive manner or projected negative “vibes” in the way they stated things.\u00a0 It may not have been anything they actually said, but you got the feeling that they just did not care.<\/p>\n

As Tech Managers, we do not want to leave that kind of impression.\u00a0 We want to be open to new ideas, critique and suggestions that others bring us.\u00a0 Don’t let your demeanor betray your desire to listen.<\/p>\n
