1. The official procedure or system of rules governing affairs of state or diplomatic occasions.

2. The original draft of a diplomatic document, especially of the terms of a treaty agreed to in conference and signed by the parties.
The dictionary defines protocol as “a code of correct conduct.” Mike Murdock elaborates saying, “Protocol is the acceptable and appropriate conduct and behavior in a specific environment. It is the right way to act in a certain situation.” First understand that, being a protégé has its own protocol in “code of correct conduct.” To be a protégé is a privilege and not a right! This is a very important point that must be remembered--when lost or failed to be realized is a great detriment to the mentor/protege relationship. A privilege must be preserved--understanding the protocol of the protégé will allow you to remain and progress in your position.
Keys of the Protocol of the Protégé:
1. Protocol can give you access to great people.
2. Protocol gives you rules for entering a place and situation.
3. Protocol presents you from overstepping your boundaries.
A. It is not proper protocol to correct your mentor.

C. Attempt to elevate yourself over your mentor.
D. Give un-requested advice to your mentor.
E. To enter your mentor’s presence out of dress code.
F. Speak of privileged, private information about your mentor to others.

65 Truths about Honor
Even though I grew up in the church, I did not see people give honor to their leaders and mentors. I saw them give respect but not honor. There is a difference. Honor is natural to the protocol of the protégé. Because honor is an endangered practice in our culture today, the act of giving honor to a mentor is often seen as “pursuing man,” excessive, and even unbiblical. This perspective comes because we have strayed so far from the protocol of honor. Is honoring a mentor unbiblical? Let’s go to the source of scripture to find the answers:
1) Honor, from men, is seen as a gift from God .
1 Kings 3:13
“And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.”
2) Honoring a mother and father enhances and lengthens life.
Exodus 20:12
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.”
Deuteronomy 5:16 “Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.”

Leviticus 19:32

5) Honor is the hidden request of kings and those in authority .
1 Samuel 15:30
“Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.”
6) When honor is not given from those close to you, it will be sought from those far away from you .
