The consequences of not following protocol

If a person breaks the rules, it can cause a ripple effect:

First of all, missing protocol means that a person is either not paying attention or does not care about it. Secondly, people think they are above the protocol when everyone at every level is expected to do the same thing but they do not. Thirdly, people can’t manage a situation if the protocol is laughed at. Fourth, some people may think protocol is meaningless, but there is a reason it is in place. Fifth, if someone does not follow protocol, he can’t expect the people under his power to follow their protocols. Teamwork is also important in some situations, as there are “I” people and “we” people; and the “I” people need to go. Moreover, a person who does not follow protocols and procedures will become ineffective, and then it will hurt the others. There is no excuse when a person does not follow protocol, and there should be a “three strikes and you are out” rule without exceptions. Finally, breaking protocol means that there is no respect for it.
