2.0 out of 5 stars Only bought it for a class, February 23, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Although I agree that certain things are universal when it comes to professionalism in the workplace I also think that different companies as well as different fields are very different and can be treated as so. This book might be appropriate for a sixteen year old who has never had a "real" job before, but that's about it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Drek, January 30, 2012
From the author's other books it looks like they churn out a new one of these every year. Its a complete racket. Here are some gems from the second page: "Human relations are the interactions that occur with and through people. These interactions create relationships." You too can be enlightened by such insights for only 70 dollars! My advice: buy the book because your worthless ABET mandated class requires it, read as little as possible to minimise your risk of intellectual rot, and burn the book to save some money on your heating bill this winter and recoup some of the lost value.
