Silence Following a Decision is not Necessarily Agreement I agree silence often indicates acceptance. However, this depends on the situation.
For example,
- In a situation where urgency is essential, silence need not mean acceptance. It simply means those who disagree would rather do something than wast time discussing.
- In the case where the leader is autocratic, silence again means compliance - not acceptance.
- Thirdly, when a negotiation breaks down, silence usually means resignation - not acceptance.
