Professionalism: What should be and What shouldn’t be

By

The word ‘Professionalism’ actually looks very common and easy which is clearly explained by its two components; Professional and Ism. The first word says its domain (Professional) while the second (Ism) depicts its nature, which combines to form as a practice of professionals. Therefore it should be understood as the practice and activities carried out by professionals of any occupation or profession.
But in modern and highly competitive society, we are losing the importance and actual meaning of this comprehensive word. It is among the most misinterpreted word in the field of workplace as employees interpret in their own words with respect to their requirements, status and inter-personal relationship with others.
What should be the interpretation of this word; subjective or objective? I guess most of the people would opt objectivity as their answer. If it is so, then yes you are right!!!
Professionalism is universal set of standards and acceptable behavioral pattern. Its implementation and application should not be affected by the area in which you are working, the organization for which you working, colleagues with whom you are supposed to work with and most importantly the objective which is leading you forward. Often professionals go beyond their limits of unacceptable behavior in the name of professionalism, personal grudges and their own professional growth. Talking practically, one’s professional growth is quintessential requirement, but getting growth by abolishing all set limits of acceptable behavior is not at all Professionalism.
It is true that no two colleagues will have same line of opinion, same track of working pattern and same understanding of the things. In this case, Professionalism stands for presenting your views, opinions, working pattern in a manner that speaks about its worth. It doesn’t stand for letting the opposite side down with the means of your expressed thoughts and views. It is only about accepting the things (which are undoubtedly correct) which do not lie on your line of thinking. Professionalism sticks with the ethics of workplace which itself explains what you should do and what you shouldn’t. Thus,
 Try to be a true professional, if not for others, then at least for your own ethical code of conduct.
