protect their feelings. You do not point out their errors or draw attention to their mistakes.
 It makes communication clearer. Etiquette enhances communication by breaking down barriers, not
erecting them.
 It will enhance your status at work. In any working situation, you are perceived as more capable,
more professional, and more intelligent if you are familiar with the proper code of conduct for the
workplace.
 It makes good first impressions. The first five to seven seconds after you meet someone are crucial.
Your first impression lingers in the other person's mind long after you are gone. If you use proper
etiquette, that first impression will be a positive one.

5. Difference Between General Etiquettes and Mannerism
General Etiquettes Mannerism
• Etiquette is a code of polite conduct based on
social acceptance and efficiency
Manners are polite behaviours that reflect an
attitude of consideration, kindness and respect for
others.
• When you know the rules of etiquette for any
given situation, it increases your comfort,
confidence and competence, and by extension,
the ease and comfort of people around you.
As mannerism doesn’t includes any rules and
regulations, you may not have been taught how to
make proper introductions, but a kind person
knows better than to belittle or embarrass
another person in public or private.
• In order to learn etiquette, people must take
specific lessons, as opposed to learning by
example or through gentle correction.
People are typically taught manners from a very
young age, so that they grow up accustomed to the
basic rules of conduct about appropriate behaviour
in social situations.
