Having withstood dismal lows before he succeeded, he provides intriguing advice about five cycles of winning: Understand that your choices matter, make a big effort, adjust your plans, finish what you start and don't settle for losing. getAbstract recommends his companionable advice to entrepreneurs, the self-employed and anyone who wants a pep talk. Larry Weidel | Greenleaf Book Group 2015 | 256 pg. | ISBN: 9781626342347 4. MESSAGE NOT RECEIVED Poor communication costs businesses time and money. Author and speaker Phil Simon shows busy professionals how to become better communicators. Simon begins with examples of poorly worded press releases filled with technobabble and buzzwords, a common malady afflicting companies today. He examines the convergence of technology and communication, and discusses stress in the workplace, corporate jargon and buzzwords, turning nouns into verbs and other linguistic gaffes. Using informative case studies, he covers almost any communication problem you can imagine. Ironically, the author can be long-winded and sometimes relies on stilted language and trite expressions, such as "the Orwellian abolishment of buzzwords" or "the tsunami of technology permeating our lives." Nonetheless, getAbstract recommends his good advice to leaders, managers, employees, students and anyone seeking to communicate more effectively. Phil Simon | Wiley 2015 | 272 pg. | ISBN: 9781119017035 5. THE ESSENTIALS OF BUSINESS ETIQUETTE Master the rules of social interaction and presentation to exude confidence and professionalism. While business environments and means of communication have changed, the need to present yourself professionally, behave appropriately and exhibit good manners has not. A major etiquette gaffe could cost you a job, lose you a promotion or cut you out of a deal. Business-etiquette expert Barbara Pachter, writing with journalist Denise Cowie, presents 101 protocols – drawn from Pachter's blog, speeches and articles – as guidelines for professional behavior. This handy manual covers making introductions, composing emails and choosing appropriate work attire – and it explains which fork to use during business meals. Her laundry list may seem like dry reading, but getAbstract recommends this excellent primer to young people entering the workforce and to those from other cultures seeking to understand US business etiquette.
