Etiquette between colleagues

ETIQUETTE BETWEEN COLLEAGUES
What part does being well-versed in business etiquette play in the success of your career?
Here’s the truth:
Our professional success often hinges less upon talent and intrinsic genius, and more upon people skills, strong emotional intelligence and a keen understanding of proper business etiquette.
In the working world, individuals from various cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds put aside their differences in order to support a single mission — the success of their organization. And when people with diverse belief systems and points of view come together, following certain rules of courtesy helps to oil the gears and keep companies running smoothly.
What, exactly, is good business etiquette?
”Business etiquette is not just knowing what to discuss during a business dinner or how to address colleagues. It’s a way of presenting yourself in such a way that you will be taken seriously […], as well as having the ability to make others feel comfortable around you.”
