For every rude executive who makes it to the top, there are nine successful executives with good manners.
From Letitia Baldrige
I don't care what your politics are, I would wager that if you asked any American woman which administration would she have most liked to work for as social secretary, she would pick Jacqueline Kennedy's White House as the place to be.
I have grandchildren who are going to need every cent I make.
If you really screw up, send roses.
We're a nation of latchkey children. Manners start at home, and no one is at home teaching manners so that children have respect for others.
The polished executive is ultimately the happy executive who can walk gracefully through life.
At home, we're listening to TV or playing with our computers, so our entertaining is rusting. We don't know how to be good hosts and guests in business situations.
CEOs are called by their first names by young whippersnappers. That makes everybody uncomfortable. We need order and structure back in the workplace.
If golfers know they look good, they will play better. I think that is valid for men and women.
If you care enough to look right, you care enough to act right. And vice versa.
