Boundaries are imaginary lines we establish around ourselves to protect our souls, heart and mind from the unhealthy or damaging behavior of others. They tell us what is and what is not our business . Learning to set good boundaries is part of the process of developing a good personal identity. As I work for my Kings following is the boundaries I will adhere to;Emotional boundaries This will mean I have to manage my emotions and not show to the kings how I feel. As a good butler I should portray Excellency at all times. I should not get emotionally attached to the Kings such that I neglect the other guests or Kings, also such that when they leave the hotel I feel saddened.Financial Boundaries Having excellent control of the petty cash that they may possible give to me. Ensure that all the records for the expenditure are available and the receipts. If I take Mr King Junior out I should have proof of his spending so as to account to his father. I should never make personal use of even the smallest amount from the Kings money.Domestic Boundaries Having respect for others need for privacy. Not using another property without permission. With permission from Mr King to use his property, I would not do it so as to maintain the boundaries.Time Boundaries Check with the kings when they would like their next service so as to avoid being around them and clustering their time boundaries. Ensure they have your contact number and make them know you are around and will be at their service at their will.
