This is the best I can find quickly on hands. There is plenty of other research on body language out there though.

I haven't downvoted anything today, I'm pretty stingy with both arrows. My points have been fluctuating as well.

You're preaching to the choir my friend. My hands live in pockets when I have access to them, was just trying to answer someones question.

Well you'll be glad to know that a lot of people and career paths don't give a shit about manners anymore, so go right ahead. This thread was however speaking about a position that does still require a certain level of professionalism.

It's been a thing since before women lost their pockets, not sure of the when and where though. When it comes to body language both hands in your pockets indicates shyness and powerlessness, which is not very professional and not what you want from a leader. A lot of manners come from policing your actions to improve your body language and therefore how people perceive you.
