Being a professional

obviously something bad has happen to prompt me into writing this. Alright here goes....

What's is true professionalism? In my personal opinion, professionalism is to be in the position to hand issues rationally for groups, committees or organization that one represents. Being a professional means putting oneself behind which ever organization one represents.

I tend to agree that there is a possibility of conflict in interest when working in a management level. Its a good mix of different character, personalities and behaviour. But when there is a conflict or problem arises, a professional should always take the stand of the organization itself especially so when the position acts as a voice for the entire organization to stakeholders.

It irks me so when there are unethicial people around, it irks me so when there are irrational people around. Yes, humans have emotions and of course the freedom to express it but when coming to addressing issues that affects the entire organization and personal, it is up most important that personal issues should never mix with work issues. Same goes to decision making.

Thus, organizations around the world have written code of conducts which are standard guidelines when come to handling professional issues. Many have spelt out that work comes before anything else. The might of many is the strength of one. Coming together to perform effectively as leaders, i wonder how far have we gone?

Auf Wiedersehen!
