Answer:

He should learn to appreciate the power of appearance and improve his decoding skills to be a better reader of others’ reactions.

Explanation:

In the given scenario it is obvious that Mr Youngher did not read the situation and act appropriately.

He came late for the meeting. The correct thing for him to do would have been to apologize.

Instead he moves in close as they shake hands and winks. This kind of familiarity is inappropriate under the circumstances.

Also he went to the interview with a rumpled suit.

This would give a bad impression about himself.

He should learn that a neat appearance creates a good impression about people, this helps them rate you higher
