12 Golden rules of Professionalism

I have realized that almost everyone wants to be called a professional, That’s good!
 but do we really know what being professional calls for? once I had an opportunity of learning Ethics and professionalism and I used to like the subject just because of its definition, years later it came back to my mind during a team building session not long ago actually and the I realized that almost everyone named himself or herself a professional, That’s when I pressed a pause button and tried to research and think deeply how or what should I do for people to call me a Professional like what an American Politician said after many people asked him why he never wrote books of his great works he looked at them and said  ‘’ I perform great works and the whole world writes and makes history ‘’ that’s being professional !

Below are some of my research results.                                       
  1. Being a Professional is not confirmed by advancing in knowledge but it is knowing how to share it proportionally, leaving everyone convinced and satisfied like they say in Portuguese ‘’Vencer e Convencer’’
  2. Being a Professional is giving discipline which shows the person what to do and how it’s done next time leaving a big smile on his face.
  3. Being a Professional Is not holding grudges liking or paying more attention to one than the other.
  4. Being a Professional is Setting a standard that even when no one is looking at you, it’s never broken.
  5. Being a Professional is Making people feel your presence and see your absence - usually people see our presence and feel absence this is all about the extra mile that you take which no one is usually prepared to.
  6. Being a Professional is Not me but the  us mentality – cutting through argument, debate and doubt by offering a solution that everyone can understand, they should all talk about you whenever there is success.
  7. Being a Professional is Doing your level best to be at peace with everyone. But always bearing in mind that it’s not possible to please the whole world.
  8. Being a Professional is not just doing your duty perfectly but is doing your best wherever need arises  in other people’s duties
  9. Being a Professional is Relating with everyone equally but leaving a professional distance so that you can motivate them and boost their self-esteem.
  10. Being a Professional is Using your resources proportionally i.e. listen, see and think twice as much as you speak.
  11. Don’t be quick to judge, or quick to anger or quick to get frustrated ‘’ Be Proactive’’
  12. Above all Being a Professional is Praying for God’s will to be accomplished in everyone around you, but through you.

Wow...thoughtful...
