Guy Kawasaki has an excellent post with the top 12 things he wished he had learned before graduating from college. My experience is that there are quite a few people well into their careers who still have not learned some of these lessons, such as how to write a five sentence email (“All you should do is explain who you are, what you want, why you should get it, and when you need it by.”), how to survive badly run meetings, and how to leave an effective voice mail.
Read the whole thing, it’ll probably be the most valuable five minutes you will spend all week.
