Social and emotional intelligence skills are two very important factors for the growth of organizations and for the growth of an individual. Social intelligence is the ability to understand the intentions, emotions and feelings of others, as well as being able to successfully interact with others in various circumstances. Emotional intelligence is the ability to control, understand, identify and manage emotions and manage interpersonal relationships in a thoughtful and empathetic manner. In this essay I will explain which inter- and intrapersonal skills are associated with social and emotional intelligence skills and the benefits these skills have on the individual and the hospitality organization. The hospitality industry is extremely competitive and still a growing entity. The more an individual or organization has highly developed social intelligence and emotional intelligence skills, the more prepared it will be to be more successful than its competitors and to compete in a growing and profitable environment. These well-tuned skills are now a commodity that can be purchased, meaning that individuals with these skills are still limited in number and therefore highly sought after. Once hired, they would be retained with a good package and groomed for advancement within the company. Organizations that use, recruit or train these skills are considered a good working environment for potential employees. Interpersonal skills are life skills that individuals use every day to communicate and interact with other people, both individually and in groups. People who have developed strong interpersonal skills are usually more successful in both their skilled and personal lives. Employers often pursue staff with… half of paper… their organisation. Self-esteem and motivation influence who we are and what we do. To conclude this essay, the research I have collected has been able to show how important social and emotional intelligence skills are in bringing benefits to the individual or organization in the hospitality industry. I think it is more useful and interesting to consider how important it is for effective performance at work. I hope this essay has demonstrated that there is now a lot of information and research out there that shows that a person's ability to recognize, identify, and manage emotions provides the foundation for the kind of social and emotional skills needed for success in almost everyone the works. . As the speed of change increases and the world of work increasingly demands a person's intellectual, emotional and physical resources, this particular set of skills will become increasingly important.
