Communications and Public Speaking: Creating a Culture with Dignity and Respect

Virtual Meeting

Abstract:

We usually define ‘civil’ as meaning polite and courteous. It’s related to ‘civilization’ and recalls the way we interact with each other within the guidelines of societal rules and implied codes of conduct. We need civility in our civilization to organize ourselves and keep things running smoothly. Without it, we invite conflict into our affairs. 

The same goes for businesses and other organizations that bring together people for meaningful interaction. In these circumstances, everyone must be civil or else the group’s ability to do their work properly will be in jeopardy. In the workplace, teams and groups will usually have their own official and unspoken rules of civility. 

Not being civil means demonstrating a rude or impolite attitude or behavior towards others with the effect of making them uncomfortable.

This could include behaviors such as:

• Insulting or demeaning comments
• Jokes made at someone’s expense
• Loud, distracting, or inappropriate conversation 
• Being discourteous or impolite towards someone

As project managers, how can you set the standard of civility for your team?
