“His father was on death bed but he chose his commitment for work. He finished the presentation and then went to attend his father, the following weekend” bragged by boss with the gleam in her eyes. She was fond of my this colleague for his docility and boss is always right attitude. But there was more to it than what my boss told us, an example of perfect commitment and professionalism. “Every inch of me protested, and I wanted to leave but did not. I could never say it and the boss knowing about papa ji never asked me to go. I had to design her presentation,” said he with moistness enveloping the repentance of not mustering the courage to voice his requisite. He disconcerted between the relevance of the work and people.
What is professionalism? People put their personal predicaments aside to facilitate profession; does this qualify to be professionalism? Some people advocate it and the rest of them make it self-obligation to prove their competence. If this is professionalism, then what about the emotional indifference dissipated by it? We need to understand that person and profession are counterparts; they should support each other than compete for dominance. Before establishing such example of professionalism, please contemplate about the relevance of laying such a legacy.
Professionalism should bring discipline but should not become an instrument to rip us off our empathy.
