I make myself read a business book every now and then. This was a decent one. It mainly tells you to do or not do stuff that should be common sense but many people forget. I'm most guilty of chewing gum obnoxiously while at work. The author is also anal about grammer and diction. It was funny to read those parts as someone who ignores such things.
Pretty interesting book, would recommend to someone trying to move up or who is interviewing for a new career. Has common sense advice- some things that are common knowledge, others that are Aha! things that make sense.
Like most business books, you can gain a few good 'nuggets' to use. The book is divided into three sections; Know, Practice, Do. It gives you principles in each section that you can use to develop or enhance your professional life.
Not as powerful as her first book, "How to WOW" but there are some good insights. The gray sidebars were sometimes more irritating than informative.
A good refresher.
Great book for business people 'in transition' and looking to brush up on social and networking skills. Revist the things you forgot, pick up a few new habits, and have a good laugh over the do-people-really-do-that shenanigans :-)
