June Hines Moore (Author)

Book Description

Series: Life@work (Broadman & Holman) | Publication Date: October 1998

Even in a dog-eat-dog world, you should still know which fork to use. From proper grooming to proper attire, from dealing with foreign clients to dealing with the caterer, knowing the dos and don'ts of etiquette in the workplace is imperative for a successful business person. In the midst of a marketplace that has abandoned its social graces, it is the responsibility of the mature Christian to act with propriety and kindness. June H. Moore, a businesswoman and believer, teaches corporate Christians how to behave commendably, respecting their fellow workers even in the ferocious world of commerce.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let He Who Is Without Sin Turn the First Page, November 10, 2011

This review is from: The Etiquette Advantage: Rules for the Business Professional (Life@work (Broadman & Holman)) (Paperback)

My boss is always harping on me to be 'more professional'. I don't know what he's talking about. I show up at the office at least three days a week, and cry under my desk for the alotted four-and-a-half hours. I even wear pants occasionally.

Still, he complains. So I made a good faith effort to tap into this 'professionalism' business he's always yapping about.

I saw this book and thought, "Finally -- someone took the 'unwritten rules' of business and wrote the stupid things down already. That's the most useful thing ever." But no.

Turns out this book, as per the description, "teaches corporate Christians how to behave commendably" -- which doesn't help me at all. I thought it would tell me how to kiss boss butt and how to power-carry a briefcase. I'm not interested in "doing business unto others" or praying for a raise. And who reads this book, anyway -- how many nuns and bishops do you see at power lunches and corporate mergers? None, is how many. Where's the 'etiquette for unwashed heathens' section?

Having worked in business domestically and abroad for government agencies and civilian corporations I've learned a lot about how little Americans know about basic etiquette; it's getting worse as our society goes electronic/digital. I bought this book for a young lady graduating from high school with aspirations of a marketing position after college. I liked the book well enough to buy a second copy for my family's use. It's concise, explicative, and interesting. An extremely worthwhile purchase. A note of caution, however, like any other tool it is effective only when used according to directions; buy it, read it, and apply the knowledge garnered!
