If Butlers Ruled the World

As we witness the world becoming increasingly fractured and common courtesy disappears, I find myself wondering what would happen if butlers were to be in charge of a country.

You may laugh at such a thought, but I feel we are perfectly qualified!

We have excellent organizing skills;

We give clear and precise direction and communication to our team members;

We are always careful to listen to, and have empathy for, those with whom we communicate;

We ascertain what our employers want and then work diligently to provide it;

We know how to plan and implement whatever is needed on time and within budget.

And lastly, as we believe in manners, etiquette, and essentially in having respect for others, we tend to bring about a polite and smoothly running environment around us.

Do you agree?
