When the Little Things Count and They Always Count( 601 Essential Things That Everyone in Business Needs to Know) <> Paperback <> BarbaraPachter <> Marlowe&Company
Overall, "When the Little Things Count" covers the bases for a number of business-related topics that many stumble over, or have no idea that they do. I recommend reading through Pachter's book as a primer or a refresher for anyone in the business field who is trying to improve their standing or seeking growth.
Checking this out after reading and hearing over and over again what millennials are missing in the business world. Analysis will determine if I use it as a pre-onboarding guide for interns.
I read a ton of these books because I am in the field. I picked this one up since I am preparing a new professionalism workshop for the college at which I work, and it seemed like this would help. Alas, there is no there there. Its a protracted listicle. There is nothing wrong with this. (Though some of the material is a little dated: "Long hair on women in the workplace is too girlish, sexy or distracting." Really?) But there is nothing new and the information delivery was irritating for this reader.
It's a nice book, but some things are outdated. Most of the advice is common sense. I think this book will be useful if you're seriously lacking etiquette. If you're generally polite already, this book will probably not be that helpful.
Most of the ideas here are useful and definitely applicable.. but nothing new or exciting.. a good book to read first time through..and then leave it on the shelf..
I mean, I had to read it for school. Pretty useful little tips though! I'm sure I'll probably pull it out for some pointers next time I have an interview.
It drove in some important little pointers that you didn't know would be important. Overall I think it's a useful book for someone starting out in figuring what to do in a corporate environment.
