J&J Article 027 | The Subtle Art of Etiquette Amidst the Corporate Hustle
Words by: Jorge Noel Wieneke
It’s time for our weekly Gentle Reminders:
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the business world, it’s easy to get swept away by the desire to impress. But in the rush to make an impression, we often overlook the importance of business etiquette and good manners. Picture this: a room filled with professionals, each eager to make their mark. Yet, amidst the flurry of activity, there are subtle reminders of the importance of etiquette.
In meetings, dressing appropriately sets the tone for professionalism and respect. Cell phones are tucked away, allowing for undivided attention and meaningful interactions. Posture is impeccable, and maintaining eye contact becomes a silent sign of acknowledgment and respect.
Beyond the boardroom, simple gestures like saying “thank you” and “excuse me” carry immense weight. They signify appreciation and consideration for others’ time and efforts. And let’s not forget about dining etiquette—a forgotten art in today’s fast-paced world. Whether it’s knowing which fork to use or simply chewing with your mouth closed, these small actions speak volumes about one’s upbringing and character.
Yet, in our quest to impress society with lavish brands and accessories, we sometimes lose sight of these fundamental principles. We get so caught up in the external trappings of success that we forget about the importance of etiquette and good manners. But in the grand scheme of things, it’s these little gestures that leave a lasting impression and set the stage for meaningful connections and lasting relationships. After all, in a world where everyone is vying for attention, sometimes it’s the subtle nuances of etiquette that truly make a difference.
Remember, you will be judged not by what you wear, but by how you move, act, and conduct yourself. Good manners and etiquette are the true markers of breeding, and as the saying goes, “We can’t buy breeding.” So let’s strive to embody these values in every interaction, both in business and in life.
And when it comes to attire, dressing for the occasion and opting for simplicity over flashy brands can speak volumes. Simplicity, after all, is elegant. So let’s embrace the power of understated sophistication and let our actions, rather than our attire, do the talking.
