Some of the employees closely monitored Gates' behavior and approaches in these meetings and acted accordingly, so as to not anger him. A small nod or the slightest smile could mean that he had liked what was on the table and they could move along with it, and an expressionless face or a small frown could mean that he was not onboard with what was being discussed.
