“U gt my msg, Boss” (sp?)

July 5th, 2012

This article from the WSJ must have resonated with many of us gray-haired corporate world souls maybe with college kids and older.

As an integrated learning solutions provider, our firm is nowadays being asked more and more to deliver workshops on business etiquette. Most specifically, we are being asked to ensure that new graduates to the corporate world have the right personal impact to succeed.

What we have ranges from: what to wear and when to wear it, how to write an emails, how to work in a team, effective presentation and communication skills (oral and written), office politics and policies, and dressing for success.

While much of this may seem obvious to some, it is astounding how unaware our graduates are in this arena.

So, quite simply, why spend all this money acquiring these bright young talented graduates, only to waste it all by not teaching them how to behave?
