Folks seem to focus on the "quiet" more than the "professional".
"Quiet professional" doesn't mean you sit by and watch your world go to pot. It doesn't mean that you remain silent either. It does mean that you don't spend your days hand-waving, bitching and rumor mongering, and look for productive solutions to problems.
- TillE 15y agoIf "quiet" doesn't mean "quiet", then it was a silly phrase to use.
- hammock 15y agoI always interpreted "quiet" to mean "calm," not silent. You could also say it means "low noise," implying high signal/noise ratio. It's funny to see all the debate on here, which is mostly semantic. A quiet professional is the man that does the best work but you never noticed he was there. He's never in the news except maybe a Forbes 100 list where you go "I've never heard of that guy." Contrast a quiet professional with someone like Kanye West or Donald Trump.
