Professionalism

[Hiral.s]

I think professionalism is not just being good at what you do but it has alot to do with how you do it. Like your character, not being lazy, being prompt, not being rude and if you are angry with a co-worker or employee or even your employer, tell them what upsets you or what isn't acceptable and be a good role model by doing this in an appropriate manner with out screaming or swearing. Your character makes you a professional, not your job or career.

What according to you is professionalism?

In India apart from some of the well established firms we hardly see professionalism being followed as is done in the developing countries. People should look professionalism as their identity not as a right to suppress their subordinates or take away their rights. In USA every job is respectable we see even the well established son of the business magnates trying to establish their identity but in India people see another people in terms of the payscale facilities etc.

Living in the secular world can create certain destructive attitudes. Our priorities can end up radically different than those of the Torah. When others around us are focusing on financial advancement or power, it is often difficult to focus on avodat Hashem. Even when attempting to hold on to our own priorities, the reality of the modern workplace environment and the competition associated with it can create a kind of obsession with work. If people would, for instance, spend a fraction of their work time on their family life, the divorce rate might drop by 50%. (No one says on their death bed, "I wish I had spent more time at the office.") The Rambam slates a normal "baalabus" for three hours of work and nine hours of learning! We must make sure that we don't lose track of why we are working in the first place � to earn a livelihood to be able to raise a family and keep the Torah and mitzvot.
