So I thought I'd suggest that we fill in that gap here. Several of those points could easily be turned into books, and have been. So if anyone else has suggestions about the best books they've read on each of those, I'd love to have the recommendations. Since I suggested it, obviously I have one in mind. The third point, "Don't Go Solo" is about networking. The book that made it clear to me what networking is really about, as opposed to the perception of an old boys' network, was Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty by Harvey Mackay.

I've always found that the attire is a sign of respect more than what you might be wearing to work on any given day. Along with listen more than you talk I would add don't sell yourself short; have confidence in yourself. Being prepared and dressing the part are extremely important.
