• 1.1: The Golden Rule for Business Etiquette

    The Golden Rule is a principle of ethics that says you should treat others as you would like to be treated. When you are unsure about how to respond in a given business situation, think about how you would like to be treated. Try to give others the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they acted in a way that seemed improper or unfair because they misunderstood your intention, they lacked certain key information, or they were simply unfamiliar with the workplace.
