Peggy Post is the director of the Emily Post Institute. Yes, that Emily Post. In the May/June issue of AARP Magazine (www.aarpmagazine.org/peggypost), she wrote that manners in today's fast-paced, complex and crowded world are still relevant.
"The potnetial for awkward moments--and yes, even rude ones--is amplified," Post wrote, because of societal shifts. Technology, fashion trends and more open talk are driving and changing how we interact with one another.
However, the basic principles of Emily Post endure and apply and never change:
- Honesty
- Respect
- Consideration
No matter the situation, these three ideals are the basics of being polite, in showing manners. Respect for our fellow humans should be under all of our interactions. These should be easy for us to apply to networking situations. Or at least they should be.
Relentless
