You're training them to wait. You've trained them to expect you'll yell if it's important. The way you engage with your customers (students/bosses/peers) trains them on what to expect from interactions with you.

We get asked by many learning and talent leaders about How to Build a Better Training Assessment. Getting training assessments right is an important topic because most training assessments are not only statistically invalid, but they are often implemented in a way that inhibits trust, decreases relevance, and wastes time.
