Review: Finally someone (Mrs. Davis) has put what we entrepreneurs need! A guide, a tell-all book that helps us grow our business and get ahead in the world.

Summary: Reviving the Power of Etiquette
Review: I loved this book! It's a quick, yet thorough read for busy entrepreneurs and anyone needing to brush up on business etiquette. Did I say brush up? How about learning things they never taught us in business school? Phyllis Davis captures the essence of business etiquette for those wanting to increase their visibility, make an impact, and influence others. Because so many businesses have become so casual, it's easy to forget these basic skills. In an economic downturn with fewer job openings and with so many qualified people applying for those jobs, the person with the edge will get the job. This book helps you gain that edge, whether it's in how you introduce your self, to the quality of the e-mail you send, to the approach you use during a meeting. Surveys on what makes leaders successful continually point to effective communication and listening skills. This book gives a four-step formula for Active Listening that I am sharing with all my clients. I particularly like the format of the book, i.e. discussion, checklists, case studies, and chapter summaries. E-2 should be a handy reference for any employee and can be particularly beneficial to business development and sales and marketing individuals.

Summary: Engendering Powerful Impressions
Review: Phyllis Davis guides her reader through an endless array of business settings -- from exchanging business cards to global travel -- and spells out proper etiquette for each situation. Interwoven with her clear, concise advice are dozens of thought-provoking case studies that reinforce her message. The result is an invaluable, easy-to-read resource that I'm recommending to many of my clients.
E2 goes far beyond mere rules of polite behavior. It focuses on personal success. It shows how etiquette engenders powerful impressions, sustained credibility, and lasting influence. Ms. Davis is concerned with helping readers create impact everywhere in their business lives, from shaking hands to conducting effective meetings to climbing the corporate ladder. This is a book to be read more than once. In fact, it will stay on my shelf as a ready reference for years to come.

Review: Phyllis Davis has written a significant work. This is a book that can be easily read by the rookie, just out of school, and ready to enter the corporate jungle. But it also addresses concerns of those who are already at the top of their career. I read the entire book in one session because it was an easy read, but more importantly, it was an exciting experience. In addition to the numerous hints and suggestions about how to maximize one's performance in the marketplace, Ms. Davis confronts the most crucial issue facing today's business world: the need to undergird business practices with ethical principles. Buy this book and read it today. This is an investment everyone needs to make.

Summary: A look in the mirror
Review: The raw basis for E2 is amazing. The premise behind the book compels us to examine ourselves; we must critique! As I read others' comments it's obvious that this critique is difficult in execution. To understand this better recall the old saying, "The right decisions are usually the hardest". The book is more than good manners and common courtesy, it's a new philosophy. An interesting thought - "Can you just imagine the world if Phyllis Davis' book was out in the 'general' section instead of just the business section?"
