What is Professionalism

Dear Sujeet:

Somewhere I found - A general view of professionalism is, "a focused, accountable, confident, competent, motivation toward a particular goal, with respect for hierarchy and humanity MINUS the emotion." This means that you leave out the outbursts and emotional thralls that accompany stressful situations and success. You maintain focus, with a sense of urgency, and accept responsibility on a path toward a specific goal. In the process, you maintain respect for your superiors, peers, and subordinates as well as respect them as human beings. Thanks. A.K.Raihan

Sujeet,

After reading your mail I also thought yes it is true that I too am not that well aware as to what is professionalism.

Just adding my thinking to your's.

PROFESSIONALISM means to be professional. Professional at your work place. When you enter the premises of your office forget your home and when you leave your office for the day forget your office.

Rule of professionalism are :-

1. Forgeting your home during office hours.(Exceptions are there... Lunch time)
2. Not to discuss about your personal life.
3. Not to share your plans for career with colleagues.
4. Not to make friends at workplace.
5. Not to drink too much in a party.

This are all that I feel can make me a better professional.

ABOVE ALL DO NOT LET YOUR COLLEGEAUES OTHER THAN THE HR KNOW YOUR CTC. I will not write CAN but will write WILL add your list of enemies in office. Dont be suprised if you come to know about the hidden ones.

Rgds,
Pallavi.

I request all CiteHR Members to give your comments on this or do let me know what is the right defination of Professionalism.

Professionalism is nothing but setting an example.

It can not be expressed 100%, but to be feel by the others.

What we are speaking and it has to be followed by the person, never find fault with others, be a good leader, good communicator, good motivator and observe only good points, having good behaviour, having good manners, educate and elevate the peoples (not fire and hire), are all the few examples of professionalism. Also it vary from time to time and situation to situation.

Dear Sujeet,

You got somany responses for your question and everybody is right as per thier thought.

As per me the word "Professionalism" has different meaning as per the situation requires,

For example

1) In a company following the rules and regulations which are created for the better growth and discipline without supervision of somebody is called as "Professionalism".

2) Being a Manager understanding of the subordinates views, and working towards the ultimate goal of the team/department will also be as called as professionalism.

3) Every profession has its own ethics values and own way, understanding that way and act according to that also may called as Professionalism.

But what ever it may the ultimate goal of Professionalism is to be lead us in to the way which accepted by the majority.
