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.

the easy to read book

U Cant Force friendship, When a person that was your friend And coworker Moves to another position, They will forget about you or just not be interested in a friendship anymore. Because you don't have much in common anymore. So don't confuse co-worker relationship with real friendship.

Required reading

The content of this book would be helpful for anyone in any profession. I think it should be added to required reading lists for any business major. The content was insightful, well laid out and full of real world examples. I am happy to recommend the book to my colleagues.

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

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.

Fillers content

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