Smart Smartphone Etiquette
PPAI Editor Tina Berres Filipski’s
Perspectives column in the July issue of
PPB
discussed etiquette surrounding smartphone
use in the business environment. Drawing
on research from USC’s Marshall School of
Business, the column explored how smart-
phone use is accepted and what committing
cellular faux pas says about you.
That technological piece could be the
best and worst gadget we carry. You are
spot-on with the observation. I am
always amazed at what I see people doing
when they should be paying attention to
those right in front of them. I even feel
guilty if I take notes in my phone using
Evernote during a meeting. The percep-
tion is what people remember.

At lunch today I was reading your
Perspectives article in the July
PPB
mag-
azine about use of smartphones during
meetings and I would ask you to email
me an electronic file of this article. A
pdf would be great.
Although you were addressing the
problem at business meetings in our
industry, I have another use for this
article. I want to email it to all my fel-
low regional school committee mem-
bers and the administrators who attend
our biweekly meetings. The use of
smartphones at these meetings has
become a major distraction for all of
the reasons you mention and quote in
this article.

I have been trying to figure out how
to gain more credibility on LinkedIn
Pulse posts. I have been advised not to
do any hard selling but rather educate
and entertain. I think your Perspectives
article about “What Smartphone Use
Really Says About You” is phenomenal
and I was surprised at all the statistics—
the research on Millennials did not sur-
prise me at all.
I would like to post your article on
LinkedIn’s Pulse posts.
