I am a partner in an accounting firm. We bought a copy of this book for every member of the firm and use it as a discussion aid. One morning each week our staff meets to discuss one chapter. The author has some unique insights and some just common sense concepts. Our staff appears to embrace the book as well. I recommend this for every serious business professional.

 Common sense information December 30, 2006

Much of this book covered general good sense and manners, which I suppose can be a problem for some. Television, I think, takes care of manners these days.
That said, there were times when I thought to myself, "Oh, I wish I'd known that before I started my job." For that reason, these gems are worth looking into, though I am sure there are more useful books on the market.
