The latest installment. More to come soon. (I hope)
Leaders are usually present in non-formal conversations. The leader(s) usually direct the conversation through segues and personal interest. Some examples include rumors, news, or anything important pertaining to the sphere of influence. Each conversation is different, based on the leader(s), and the conversation can change quite rapidly. The leader(s) may start on the earthquake in Haiti and the conversation could end on shoes.
Maintaining hierarchy is usually the most important observed rule in non-formal conversations. People usually maintain this by implying how rude a person is for interrupting. Etiquette is another observed rule. Etiquette rules apply to bridging conversations, maintaining conversations for an ideal amount of time, and abruptly stopping conversations. Most people detest having to wait for someone to finish a phone conversation in the middle of a conversation. Also, many believe politely asking to leave would be the best response. Of course, etiquette and rules change between circles. Sometimes, groups include phone calls to conversations by way of speaker phone or texting.
