Abstract:
"President Obama's former White House Chief of Protocol looks at why diplomacy and etiquette matter-and what they can do for you"-- Provided by publisher.
In her roles as chief of protocol for President Barack Obama and social secretary to President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton, Marshall not only bore witness to history, she facilitated it. If there is one thing that working at the highest levels of government for over two decades has taught Marshall, it is that there is power in detail and nuance-- the micro-moves that affect the macro-shifts. When seemingly minor aspects of an engagement go missing or awry, it alters the emotions and tenor of an exchange, setting up obstacles rather than paving a way forward. Here she brings us a master class in soft power, unveiling the complexity of human interactions and making the case that etiquette, cultural IQ, and a flexible mind-set matter now more than ever. -- adapted from jacket
