Why is business etiquette important in the workplace? Why should emerging leaders have skills in business etiquette? Many new leaders and young professionals think that business etiquette is old, stuffy and out-of-date. They think that skills in business etiquette will not prepare them for modern professional life.
They overlook this very important skill-set and as a result, they often damage their professional reputation, business relationships, and career progression.
This is a major but unnecessary mistake that many new leaders and emerging leaders make.
Why is business etiquette important?
Business etiquette skills are incredibly important in the professional world. They help you:
- Know what to do in business and social situations.
- Connect better with your coworkers and clients.
- Increase your level of confidence in business (because you know what to do).
- Develop a strong and positive reputation.
- Create a positive and collegial work environment.
I’ve been teaching business etiquette to professionals all around the world for the last 8 years and I’ve seen the impact it’s had on their professional and personal lives.
