Practical, ethical and sensible guidelines on biz etiquettes.

Firstly I liked listening to Lloyd James, for his friendly, conversation-like voice, with the right expressions, pauses, and emotions kept me interested till the end. So thank you, Mr James.

Mr Jeffrey Seglin has a great sense of humor, and his practical and cheek-in-tongue options in the ‘What would you do?’ Q&A sections was most enjoyable, as is his subtle sarcasm. Very informative content and I’ve recommended it to my family and friends.

Helpful business office read

I enjoyed this book. It presented very informative mindsets in the current business environment. The focus was to mid level associates within an organization.

Great book and narrator

I liked how different topics were presented through real life stories, and various possible actions were discussed with explanations why those were correct or wrong

Fillers content

Half the book is just fillers, another quarter is just common sense. Not worth listening

let me save you 5 hours of your life.

5 hours of my life I'll never get back. A quick synapse, wash yourself, trim your beard and then theres 4 hours of how the author hates meetings. Good grief.
