One of my tech jobs we'd use this aura strategically. Any time we couldn't get something to work for long enough it was becoming a problem, we'd go to someone higher rank than us. Didn't even have to tell each other what was wrong just "hey I need you to look at something", they'd walk in, usually it would start working, everyone nods, they go back to what they were doing. If people didn't nod then the higher up would actually sit down and we'd describe the problem
