Wear Shiny Shoes

When I was a new consultant, I approached one of the firm's partner's with a serious, but seemingly naive question, "What's one detail I should always think about as I work with clients?"

He looked down at his shoes, and mine, as he contemplated his answer. The response: "Always wear shiny shoes."

That memory came flashing back when I read The 5-minute shoe shine by Brendon Connelly on his blog, Slacker Manager. In the Converse era, Brendon leaves no stone unturned (complete with pictures) to show us how to achieve the perfect shoe shine.
