The Art of Hand Shake
I met with a director from Ireland last Thursday after work where he came to asia to promote his company product and my company was interested in one of his core product. He is not a very charming person or a very good presenter but he has very good hand shake etiquette which really impressed me. I met a lot of management people but I seldom met a person which is having good hand shake etiquette especially Malaysian. Most of the time, person will just hold my hand softly and quick one which give me the impression that he/she is not sincere or not paying attention. I really curious and wanted to ask people who I shaked hand with before on my hand shake skill.I went online and search for the explanation of the art of hand shake and I find something which are very true and important to share.
