Protocol, Intercultural Communication and Diplomacy for Business
"It requires a great deal of diplomacy to run a company…. Your employees, your shareholders, and most importantly your customers are all constituencies. You have to be a diplomat in the sense of listening to people, understanding what people want, and finding a way to deliver it."
Richard Egan, cofounder, former CEO and chairman of EMC and former U.S. ambassador to Ireland
