MINDING YOUR MANNERS EVERYDAY MATTERS

Personal Impact Guide to IITTI Level 1 Standard: Business Behaviour

Etiquette is defined by the rules we live by, established over time to create civility as society evolves. As we become more and more global these rules often become blurred due to different cultural beliefs, geographical locations and economic backgrounds. This can make the boundaries of etiquette unclear, unless you have an adaptive understanding of each individual society; and it can lead to miscommunications affecting not only your social interaction but also your business success in our competitive global economy.
Because of this, the role of manners has become even more important. Manners are based on courtesy, polite behaviour and consideration for others. In-other words, manners, are about human relationships. In business, ‘Minding Your Manners Everyday Matters’ bridges the gap between rules and courtesy, and conforms to the Institute of Image Training & Testing (IITTI) International Standard for business etiquette, providing dos and don’ts for every situation.

For those of you who plan to sit for the IITTI Level I exam, Minding Your Manners Everyday Matters is your study guide for the Professional Behaviour component of the IITTI Level 1 certification exam.
