So how do you treat the waiter?

Ever wondered how CEOs and other top execs evaluate the people around them, well here's an interesting insight. Apparently how you treat a waiter says a lot about how you handle your inter-personal relationships, not only in the restaurant but also in the workplace.

As the article points out, we often perceive a waiter as a subordinate, maybe even a servile. So how you treat him, in what is essentially a neutral environment, says a lot. In the article, many CEOs talk about how their judgements based on the 'waiter-test' were often borne out in real life. When you think about it, it makes sense.
