The Dandelion Patch

These days, I attend a lot of business networking functions where etiquette and manners consistently come into play. However, there are times that I walk away wondering if some people missed the memo on how to properly conduct themselves in business networking settings. Don’t get me wrong! Most people that I interact with are polished professionals that put their best foot forward. But there are always a few in the bunch that seem to have left their etiquette books behind–gathering dust somewhere on a shelf.

Good manners simply boil down to consideration for those around you. Respect for one another in a business setting needs to be reciprocal, but I find that this basic tenant goes over-looked far too often.
