For professionals to be successful at organizations, one needs to navigate two kinds of conversations. One is the explicit, open discussion. The other, involves the undercurrents one gauges tacitly. Reading between the lines is a critical skill one needs to possess in the modern workplace. Some ways have been identified which need to be followed, to ensure it can be incorporated. One is to be a keen observer. One needs to especially look for the quick micro expressions. Another is to not talk too much, by exerting a control over the same.

Whatever perceptions one has, must be tested in practice.
