Hi Art,

Your article inspired me to write a not-completely-unrelated article as well. Please do check it out if you get a few minutes. I have linked to your post as well! I’d appreciate your comments and feedback.

Hello Art, I agree, a small act of courtesy builds a relationship. If you start an etiquette revolution in leadership, count me in! ~Carol

Tom, now you’re talking! Hey, and maybe, just maybe, people can sit down to lunch once again and not feel compelled to whip out an NDA before they order. Thanks for sharing! -Art

Art, great message again! This is top of mind this week as I experienced it first hand with a leader in our firm who asked a fellow director regarding status on a project and continued to say, “I just don’t know why you don’t get it!” Since etiquette is obviously gone at this firm, so is this director. Maybe we should return to some of the age-old common methods of doing business…like how about the old fashioned handshake. Talk about developing trust in a relationship!

Art, you are a great example of how to do this right; you often publicly thank people who follow you on Twitter.

It strikes me as interesting that you use the word ‘etiquette’ to describe what is lacking in social networking. A few days ago I was discussing business leadership with my wife and she made the comment that too many executives today fail to use etiquette with the people they lead. It shows up in many ways, and when times are difficult (as they are today for many companies) good manners seem to go by the wayside.

Good manners and etiquette are not only things we should do to be good people, but more importantly are also behaviors that will lead to success. -Michael
