TALK SHOW EPISODE NOTESIn our JOYFUL ART OF BUSINESS™ series we explore how to combine the positive benefits of our professional endeavors (“business”) with the overall positive emotional return on our efforts (“joy”). The act of engaging in professional endeavors, in any capacity (i.e., as an employee, employer, entrepreneur, contractor, volunteer, paid, full time, part time, intermittently, etc.) is an expression of our ideas and creative talents (“art”).
This episode is, “Please and Thank-You Will Take You Far In Business." In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including: 1. You're welcome! 2. Manners Matter. 3. It is illogical to argue that "this is business" and "results outweigh everything else" in regards to rude behavior. 4. Because this is business...and humans are the core of all business... 5. how you treat humans determines the future of the firm (and your career). 6. If you have the best product or service in the world BUT, your customers, clients, constituents, vendors, staff, executives, etc., do not feel that are treated politely and respectfully, 7. your firm will ultimately fail (to thrive, to continue, etc). 8. When competitors come into the market, your best employees will leave for those better treatment workplaces. 9. Your clients will accept a marginally lower quality product or service from your competitors with higher quality politeness. 10. From THE ROLE OF POLITENESS IN BUSINESS DISCOURSE “principles of business communication and the related notion of politeness do not differ from the principles which apply to communication in general.” (Zenja Kansky-Rozman Ekonomski fakultet, Ljubljana, Slovenija) 11. “In competitive letters, which are usually conveying negative information, it is better to avoid you-language.” (Analysis of Politeness Strategy in Competitive Business English Letters) 12. From Power and politeness: a study of social interaction in business meetings with multicultural participation, “Polite language, as the data suggest, is not an add-on or a cushioning device to pave the way for the smoother application of power; in workplace interaction, it is a pre-condition within which power can be exercised.” (Mabelle Victoria, 2009) 13. Think about how career politicians make each supporter feel special and valued. Think about how they work a room and connect with each person they meet. When you deploy authentic skills to share gratitude and appreciation with others, you have a competitive advantage for yourself and your organization. 14. You must have polite internal thoughts (about yourself, your life, etc.) to be able to authentically and consistently share externally polite language with others. What are you thinking?
