"...when a person in a Japanese firm sits quietly, no one will come and inter- rupt. It is assumed that the person is thinking... when the person is up and about,coworkers feel free to interrupt. Isn't it interesting that it is exactly the opposite in American firms? In America, we assume that when a person is sitting quietly they aren't doing anything very important." --Peter Senge,MIT; The Fifth Discipline
