In your private life, you can chat for hours about this and that and who did what to whom and why, when you're in the mood. But in all things business, you are nothing if not direct. You get right to the point without any preliminaries. This is something that your work partners appreciate enormously. It saves a lot of time that would be better spent networking or having a coffee break. Maybe you'll even get a prize for 'Most Laconic'!
