2. Charisma Corporation
Charisma Corporation (CC) has recently embarked on a new kind of training. The corporation is
teaching many of its employees, especially those in the marketing and sales to make decisions on
the basis of non verbal communication cues. For Malini Varma, VP of CC, focusing on non
verbal communications has become an important part of her inter personal dealings. Several
years ago, Varma became interested in how body movements and mannerism truly reflect what
an individual is saying. Continuously reading in this area of study, Varma has been able to take
decisions about potential employees and potential customers by ‘reading’ them. Varma believes
that body language can give a person competitive advantage. It can make difference while
closing a deal or, as in CC’s case, while hiring employees. For example, during interviews,
Malini pays constant attention to the candidate’s eye movements and mannerism. She believes
that she can correctly predict if the candidate will be aggressive sales person while
simultaneously being personable and friendly. How does she do it? She does this by looking at
their eyes and the way they present themselves. In one case hiring decision came down to two
people. The first person was animated and made constant eye contact. The second candidate
never looked in the eyes of Malini. , leaned back in his/her chair, and crossed both his legs and
arms. The first candidate demonstrated the communication skills that Varma thought aligned with
successful performance in her organization.
Malini Varma is convinced that communication skills play a significant role in helping her
organization achieve its annual sales goals. Personally, she has found that it has helped her
‘quality’ customers. For instance even when a potential customer says,’ yes’ with his/her arms
and legs crossed emphatically, it means, No! Understanding this, Varma is in a better position to
probe further into the possible objections the customer has. She has found that, in many cases,
she is able to steer the conversation in a direction that ultimately leads to successfully closing a
sale. And that is a major competitive advantage.
Questions
1. What problems Varma encounter by her heavy reliance on non verbal communication?
2. What communication guidance would you give to Varma and individuals like her who place
an inordinately high value on body language? Explain your position.
