There is a direct link between the power of an individual and a conversation.
This includes both length of the conversation, turn-taking and who initiates and ends a conversation. Extensive research indicates that those with more power in an organization will speak more often and for a greater length of time.
Meetings between superiors and subordinates provide an opportunity to illustrate this concept. A superior regardless of whether or not they are running the actual meeting, lead discussions and have the ability to speak for longer periods of time without interruption.
The length of the response follows the same pattern. While the superior can speak for as long as they want, the responses of the subordinate are shorter in length.
The Starting and ending a communication is also controlled by the higher-status individual. The time and duration of the conversation are dictated by the higher-status individual.
