From Library Journal
Have you ever wondered what to say to an unmarried woman who has just announced that she is pregnant? Or what equipment you need for a successful buffet? Or how to deal with other people's underhandedness in the office? Answers to these and many other workplace dilemmas can be found in this book by Stewart, the author of 15 books on etiquette, and Faux, who writes on woman's issues. The authors provide a comprehensive catalog of appropriate methods of dealing with workplace issues. Also included is a section on cross-cultural questions. Although the book is directed toward executives, most white-collar workers could benefit from the ideas presented here; most of us are not always sure which fork to use. Recommended for public libraries.

Product Description
What's the best way to ask a colleague to refrain from smoking in the office? What's the proper protocol for exchanging gifts with colleagues and clients?

More than a collection of dos and don'ts, Executive Etiquette in the New Workplace is a practical and reassuring sourcebook that offers businesspeople at every rung of the corporate ladder the guidelines they need for handling the increasingly complex relationships of office life with confidence, grace, and style.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!...but a little outdated...written in early 90s, an update would be useful, November 24, 2008

By	Gary Harding - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is a little outdated, but extremely well written, informative and useful. Very good advice. Alot of topics covered. It was written in the early 90s, so much has changed. No chapter on email correspondence, for example. I would give it 4 stars now, but the system wouldn't let me change my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reference to keep on the shelf, January 9, 2000

By A Customer

This book is quite thorough--probably more information than a person can internalize in one reading, but it's a good book to keep on the shelf in case you need to brush up before a special function (such as formal dinner, job interview, etc.)
