I have found more than one executive whose style is idiosyncratic but you don’t have to intuit it. They will interrupt, ask pointed questions, mansplain* and etc. to control the conversation so you fit to how they want to consume it. The problem I find is when in that mode they are unlikely to get the point because they don’t want to hear. They want you to say what they already want to hear.

* not a pc word but it sums up perfectly the communication style I can’t think of a better one. Maybe condescending?
