    1. Professionalism is an attitude towards work that involves planning, competent decision making, good communication, excellence in one's job duties, integrity, and prioritizing what is right over other considerations. 2. While a degree or job title may make one professionally qualified, true professionalism means continual self-improvement and prioritizing the needs of the work over personal interests. 3. Both family-owned businesses and professionally-managed companies can demonstrate high professional standards, depending on the attitudes and behaviors of their leaders and employees. Acting with integrity, accountability, and concern for others is more important than ownership structure.

    V Everyone wants to become a "professional" these days
    or to work in a professionally managed organization.
    While being professional may be a virtue, what exactly
    is implied by being a professional is often found lacking
    in individuals and companies.
    V In fact, some family owned companies have higher
    professional standards than our so-called professionally
    managed companies. Many people still think that one
    can become a professional simply by acquiring a degree
    and many companies have the mistaken belief that they
    can claim to be professional by hiring a certain number
    of MBAs and CAs.
    V Among the meanings of the word 'professional' in
    the dictionary, there are two, which are connected
    with the way we work. One is something that is
    related to a job or profession. The other means well
    trained, or a person who is good at one's work. To be
    a professional, therefore, implies that a person is
    good in his job and can be depended upon. Clearly,
    it is easy to be a professional in the first sense.

    V If we do anything over and over again in our lives,


    we become professionals of some sort. The second
    implication, however, is more difficult. It is easy to
    do a job, but to do it well as if our heart was in it,
    there lies the catch. Most of us are content in
    'making do', or finishing the task at hand with the
    least amount of effort.
    V We are not interested in putting our best effort
    because we think that the job is too small or too
    meaningless or that nobody is going to appreciate
    it. Yet, it is easy to make out a job that is done with
    love than one which is done without it.

    V These are simple instances of professional and non-


    professional behavior. Simply doing a job over and
    over again does not make us a professional.
    V Being a professional means more than
    simply acquiring a degree. It means being
    true to your chosen profession and trying to
    excel in any job assigned to you.
    V Sometimes it means simply doing what is
    right. Take the example of hiring someone
    for a job. The principles of efficient working
    require that we choose a person who is
    qualified for the job and not go by other
    considerations.
    V Yet, how many meritorious candidates get
    selected? Going by the number of cases
    that are filed regarding selections for jobs
    it seems that people are hired for
    belonging to certain castes or
    communities, or those who know
    someone in management, or those who
    may have bribed their way through. That
    certainly is neither right nor is it
    professional.
    þow does one become professional? If we
    break up our tasks no matter what our area
    of work, we can probably come to the
    following sub-tasks:
    1. Planning
    2. Decision making
    3. Communication
    4. Doing our job
    5. Doing what is right
    m 
    Whether it is an operation conducted by a doctor or a project
    executed by an engineer, professional behavior demands a certain
    amount of planning so that overruns are avoided and the work
    proceeds smoothly. þow many of us make plans in our everyday
    lives? þow many companies take planning seriously? Does our
    government take the Planning Commission seriously? If we
    answer these questions, we may discover that many of us are not
    professional at all, even while claiming to be so.

     
     
    The way we make our decisions also shows how professional we
    are. Usually, we go by our whims and intuition and fail to
    analyze the situation. When we look around ourselves, we find
    the consequences of such decisions. Companies which had
    diversified without taking into account ground realities have
    come to grief: a pharmaceutical company which entered the
    cosmetics industry, an engineering company which diversified
    into shipping, and so on.
    Multinational companies too made this mistake and
    entered the country thinking that they could sell
    overpriced products to our huge middle class, but only to
    come to grief. There were few buyers for their products
    showing that their decisions had been made out of wishful
    thinking rather than scientific principles.

    °  
    þow we communicate also shows how professional wear.
    Do we take care to explain something to our customers,
    subordinates or superiors?
    EXAMPLE:A doctor who explains a point to a worried
    patient is much better than one who simply writes out a
    prescription. The end result of both doctors is the same,
    but one reduces worry while the other causes unnecessary
    tension. To a sick person, that makes a lot of difference.
        
    Èinally, our attitude gets reflected in the job that we do. Does it
    reflect our care and ability? Or are we content in doing a half-
    baked job hoping that someone else will correct our mistakes?
    A journalist can give a story full of mistakes and these will no
    doubt be corrected at the proofing stage. But professionalism
    demands that all mistakes are removed by the person himself,
    without depending on anyone else. It also means keeping an eye
    for details, however minute they may be.

        


    A company which does not treat its workers well can hardly be
    called professional, no matter how many professionally
    qualified people it employs. Similarly, companies which do not
    pay taxes or fail to take note of their social responsibility are
    unprofessional. Unfortunately, most of us want to be 'yes-men',
    accepting orders from above which may or may not be right.
    The moment we do something, which we believe is
    wrong, we are not professional, no matter how many
    degrees we may have. These are some of the things that
    we can follow for achieving the elusive professionalism
    in our life.

    It is usually believed that family owned businesses are


    not professional enough but, ironically, some family
    owned businesses are more professional when compared
    to those, which are managed by qualified people.

    Professionalism is an attitude towards our work rather


    than anything else and it has to be acquired over a period
    of time. It is also the only way to survive in today's
    world.
    Professionalism is actually is the process given occupation
    become profession in the sense of attaining professional
    status.
