is being slow, deliberate and thoughtful a problem in the world of business?

Depends on the job, but there are plenty of roles where those traits are strong assets.  \n\nIf I was interviewing you I'd want you to show that you can also communicate appropriately and work as part of a team though.

Not in question form. However, I believe that in all jobs there are plenty of slackers and a boatload of mediocre employeees. The people that work very hard and take initiative to do extra is a rare find (everyone has there moments, but who really cares enough to work hard regulary.) Here's your answer, caring about self dignity and having discipline to get the full job done through initiative and sweat, is the rarest form of a standard wage employee, all others just don't care enough about it.

Just try slowing down.  A brief pause while you collect your thoughts is perfectly acceptible.  It's nice when someone is answering a question if they pause first and give their words some thought.\n\nFocus on what you are trying to say, and don't feel rushed.  Maybe it would help to have a drink to use whenever you needed a moment to pause.\n\nhope that helps!

well i think you should start off by asking yourself, is the working environment that you are working in is a efficient and a encouraging environment which will help you get things done fast and efficiently. I overcame my habbit of procrastinating by doing something i needed to do and if i was able to do it without being side tracked, i gave myself a reward (ie 30 minutes of watching tv or going on computer and chatting with friends or even giving yourself a bar of chocolate)

My dear there is still such thing as business etiquette and \nbusinesses emphasize it more than ever. It is crucial to the business to provide excellent customer service. If you have ran into an unpleasant situation do report it. Do bring it to your supervisor's attention because there is a high chance that this colleague of yours has been rude to others before as well.

I try to...especially when I sense that someone is bored, or unhappy.  I went to this meeting, and the CFO was there, who was my boss.  I saw him starting to fall asleep during this lecture.  And truthfully some execs are the worst ones at presenting because they are all nervous and tense.  So I leaned over to the CFO and said "Geez, Do you think maybe a wicked game of 'pull my finger' would loosen this guys up a bit?"  He tried so hard not to laugh after that. : )

Frankly, I think that's on purpose.  In my business, consultants are a big part of it, generally brought in as "experts" in a particular field.  They all strike me as people who decided they were smart enough to sell all their brilliant ideas to others.  They make most of their decisions with little idea of your local marketplace, take all the credit when you succeed, and blame poor execution when you fail.  They are often forced on us by higher-ups looking for some "quick fix" to a problem better solved more methodically.\n\nThere are many brilliant people who are likely benefitting their fields by making their expertise more widely available.  I just haven't run into all that many.

Yes.  I try to be cheerful and chatty, though being that upbeat is not my true personality.  In "real life" I am a quite serious person (read: not boring, but don't like superficial interactions) but at work I try to be friendly and have that business-world social attitude.

not necessary, not if you have no strategic planning for business and good resourceful people.  Do it if you know enough.  (How do you definite enough?  That, you will have to take your own risk ...)

I would have to say more slow and steady.  I analyze things alot before I take action.  Fear of making mistakes I guess.  Hubby is the opposite though.....he is a spontaneous sucker...really messes with my analytical side when I don't get a chance to weigh the pros and cons before he acts!\n\n:-)

when I am teaching about this specific question, I tell my students to spin their negative thing into a positive thing for he employer. For example, an individual who is VERY attentive to detail may take a bit longer to complete a task when compared to others.  HOWEVER, those few extra minutes for task completion mean that it will be truly complete AND that no one else will need to fix the errors later.

Absolutely! It's not only good business etiquette, it's also very rude to not do it in general.

i personally dont like the idea of organised networking..you know, networking sessions, because i feel that its too transactionary in a sense? Like both parties are conscious that the only reason why they're talking is the sole purpose of network. Some would call it good business sense, you know the whole "i scratch ur back, u scratch mine" thing, but i personally find it kind of artificial.. i rank it up there along with social niceties, small talk, telling your boss he looks nice with his new haircut..etc etc.  Then again, maybe thats why I'm not cut out for business? It's all relative I guess. I do think that networking can definitely bring benefits, but i dont like "mindless networking" if there's such  a thing.

If you try and take the time to think of what you're going to say before you say it, and consciously slow it down when you do say it, that should help.

Being nonjudgmental about things.
