Lately I have noticed that one of my staff would normally keep his silence whenever we are having discussion and occassionaly noting heads. This can be an art of communication that one must not ignore. However, such act of silent is golden can really piss your mind off and I do not mind to admit from my own perspective. As a proactive person, I totally discourage such approach and it seems that this act could be viewed as intelligently ignorant approach to stay silent and ignorant.
When a person is asked to comment or share, it is very disrespectful when one chosen to be silent. Nevertheless, I would also try to understand from the person's view that he may be just without any ideas to say. Thus, the silence ! This is further translated to his below par performance for the past 6 months. However, I am hopeful that one could take positive approach in whatever cisrcumstances and transform the situation in order to have a fruitful two ways communication.

I think his situation of keeping silent or noting head has been there for quite sometimes, it just whether serious or not....I do agree with you that silent act would cause you piss off as talking to wall.
His family problem also play an important role of his below par performance. When talked about his problem, his face and eyes would turn red and your heart will definately soften.
Again, when we look at corporate point of view, he is not progressing and non productive. A firm decision had to be made for his own good and also fair to company.
When look at human point of view, his own and family problem had overtaken his mind and concentration towards his performance in the company. Sincerely I felt sympathy to him as I had been gone through that family process too.
I don't know him but I shall pray for him on his future and God will never giving up us including him.
Time will tell the result. Hopefully for the better.
