Some view etiquette as an arbitrary set of “rules” for being nice in society. Yet when looking closely at etiquette, and the action of our executive, we see that etiquette includes an ethical component, a consideration beyond ourselves. Etiquette at its highest level, goes beyond the “rules” to pay attention to others, to acknowledge their needs, and to meet their needs in a considerate way. These actions demonstrate a transcending of Self by acknowledging the value of others and how your actions impact them.
