Professionalism in Management Students
“Professionalism is not a label you give yourself. It's
a description you hope others will apply to you” David Maister
Professionalism
is an attitude, not a time commitment. When things change inside you, things
change around you. Your attitude finally drives your result. The word,
Professionalism is much beyond doctors, lawyers and teachers. It’s even meant
for sportsmen, tradesmen and even politicians. This is more of an “ethical
obligation” to whosoever they offer their service. In nutshell, any profession
is required to have a code of ethics, which has to be reflected by today’s
student managers.
We
Invited – Dr Swarup Sinha, Principal, ITC Hospitality Management to talk on the
need of professionalism for Management students, wherein he emphasized that the
actual essence of professionalism is to have technical and ethical standards,
and exhibit a courteous, conscientious and businesslike behavior at the
workplace. Employees in supervisory, managerial positions are expected to lead
by example and help create an organizational culture that respects people and
nurtures creativity, initiative, innovation and enhance performance.
Professionalism is a long-ingrained approach to work and work-related
situations. It takes conscious effort and consistency to become a thorough
professional.
Our students were also made aware about the
professional sense of dressing, attitude, adhering to management principles,
staying composed and calm by better controlling their emotions. And the
un-forgetful “walk the talk” which emphasize that if your actions don't align
with you words, you'll quickly lose credibility.
This was really a meaningful session conducted by the office of Career Guidance and Placements at Christ
Institute of Management on 06 May2016.
