Modern Day Business Etiquette

Just like at social gatherings, there are certain etiquettes to be followed in the workplace. Etiquette expert Eliza Browning had a few reminders for INC readers.

First, focus on the face, not the screen. How many times have you talked to someone and they never once looked away from what they were doing on their computer? It makes you feel like the least important item on their not-to-do list...

Second, curb your criticism. The workplace should not be the same an an online forum. It is best not to criticize other people.

And lastly, observe the elevator rule. What this means, do not talk about a person or people that you just met with until the elevator is on the bottom and you are leaving the building.

See those plus two others here: http://www.inc.com/eliza-browning/business-etiquette-rules-that-matter-now.html
