Dave very funny-- my favorite was the phone comment because that is the trait that drives me nuts for everyone! Millennials don't have that one cornered. I absolutely hate having a discussion with someone as they gaze downward. If it's that important excuse yourself and return when you can make eye contact. I have a rule that I never answered my office phone, cell phone IM, or text when in a meeting unless it is an emergency. Distractions are not multitasking they waste everyone's time and you lose credibility when you're disengaged from someone.

Knowing how to communicate for anyone in the business is essential. Since a lot of older managers feel that it isn't their job to figure you out, I figured I'd hand younger folks the key to figuring the old folks out. Think of me as a middle-aged translator. :)
