They say you only get one chance to make a first impression. They also insist that strong initial greetings involve three key elements:
- A firm, hold-on-to-the-corporate-ladder handshake
- Steady, non-threatening eye contact
- Exchange of legal first and last names
Recent research, however, suggests that this strategy is for whiny babies allergic to their own personality. "B-b-but the three-step method is how I earned this so-so job in middle management! If I defy convention, I'll get in trouble and my friends will leave me and no one will be around to cut up my hot dogs!" Sigh. Relax, learn to handle a knife, and seriously consider the benefits of this alternative.
