The importance of protocol

Following proper protocol is a sign of respect both for academe's system of etiquette and for the individuals involved, so violating professional etiquette can result in significant unwelcome consequences. The loss of professional etiquette is often attributed to a culture of entitlement that seems to characterize not only academe but contemporary society as a whole.

Besides, the society demands more every day the care of public image and the respect to behaviour rules. Protocol is not only for the King, a minister or an ambassador; it is currently an organization.

From a different perspective, we all know that the better way to describe strategies for avoiding or minimizing small but routine risks is the adoption of protocols. We embrace all sorts of protocols on a daily basis as a matter of habit.

The protocol is used in weddings, working dinners or receptions, giving importance to the learning of the aforesaid rules to behave correctly in front of the rest of guests and hosts. Let’s say that protocol helps to distinguish exceptional situations from the rest of our daily situations. 

Both in the social and business field, it is important to know how to behave and to give a good image. Etiquette and protocol are fundamental in social and business relations.

So, to sum up, the main idea is that good protocol and etiquette promote good will; whereas its absence fosters resentment and discontent.
