Good manners at a work meeting

We know that customs change with the times, but good manners do not; These will remain

throughout your life and have their origin in the home. How nice it is to deal with a person who

has good behavior, small gestures and words with which you will show consideration and respect

for others. Even if you haven't thought about it before, politeness and good manners will open the

door to a successful and happy adult life.

An employee will be more successful with his clients if he transmits kindness and a cordial

treatment towards them. A doctor, who possesses good manners, can make the life of his patients

more pleasant, even in bad times. A teacher will be able to establish a more optimal relationship

with his students, if they perceive him as someone cordial and attentive. An added value and a

differentiating element is precisely in that, to have the ability to treat others in a friendly way, that

is, being polite.

In monthly meetings with my co-workers and bosses it is important to have good manners. First,

make sure you come on time and prepare for the meeting ahead of time. You don't want to waste

anyone else's time by not being punctual. Second, a lot of people keep their phones on the table

during meetings. It's disrespectful to talk on the phone when you're in full meeting. Even if you

aren't looking at your phone, it can get distracting if it starts lighting up or making noises. Also, It's

really, really rude to be texting during a meeting.

Third, if you were drinking or eating during the meeting, you need to clean up after yourself and

leave things the way you found them. Otherwise, it's not professional. Fourth, do not bring

unannounced guests to a meeting. If you have someone you would like to bring to a meeting, then

contact the boss for permission to bring your guest. If permission is not granted, then do not bring

him.
