Summary: fundamental social skills
Review: My work centers on meeting and greeting people and getting people comfortable in interacting. This book is critical for those base social skills. I use the tips, strategies and ideas for helping emerging young adults network better.For people that think it's only for diplomats, or that it's anti woman... I couldn't disagree more. The book shows your the formality in doing proper introductions--- people can choose to customize the intro to the situation!!! It gives you a high water mark to shoot at and no one ever complains about how formal I am in presenting one person to another. I have recommended this book on multiple occasions. People that I admire most in social circumstances execute the fundamentals taught in this book.

Summary: Must read for serious professionals
Review: Think it doesn't matter how you write thank you notes or eat lunch with the boss? Think again! This book outlines the why's and how's of executive manners. At the senior level, competence is assumed. Promotions are in the details of everyday protocol. Read this book!

Summary: I Have Referred to this Book Often
Review: This book describes a world that most business people do not inhabit. It is stuffy and irrelevant. Business etiquette is based on business situations that constantly evolve. There is no evidence here that the authors have any idea about the reality of the work environment. Business etiquette is not about place settings at the White House or how to address diplomats when you have them over for dinner. It about putting one's associates and guests at ease when the atmosphere is social but the agenda is business. A much better book is The Etiquette Advantage by Post.

Summary: A Reader From Texas
Review: This book was a disappointment in that it appears to be primarily aimed at high-level diplomats and/or very, very high level corporate people at the biggest corporations. It seemed pompous and snobbish and out of touch with real life situations outside of the diplomatic corp. I would not recommend it for the average Joe Business man who just wants to know the proper real-life etiquette in a majority of corporate environments today.
