What are the Attributes of Professional Behavior?
It is important to note that someone’s title or position in an organization is not a guarantee that they will act in a “professional” manner. Unfortunately, the opposite is too often the case.
The qualities of Professionalism are displayed by the way a person acts and not by their title or position. It is exemplified by the way they behave. Someone on the lowest rung of an organization can just as likely be a true professional as someone in the top ranks of the organization.
So let’s take a look at the qualities of those who act with professional maturity.
True professionals
· Apply good taste
· Respect other people
· Don’t gossip or spread rumors
· Act with dignity
· Use common sense
· Never lose their temper, get angry, or act in a mean manner
· Avoid profanities and foul, crude, or coarse language
If you are falling short in any of these areas, make today the day that you start to make changes. Make today the day that you make every effort to enhance your Professionalism.
