Mainly it is important in meeting need, want and expectation of customers (David, 2011). For building team according to skills and knowledge of every individual there is requirement of professional in it.

As a manager there is requirement of several personal and professional skills for working in hotel. Hospitality industry is wide and fast growing as it provide several opportunities and career objectives for every individual (Jones and Jones, 2013).

Communication Skills: this is the skill which is important for providing information and data as well guidelines to the workers related to company. Better communication from top to lower level in organisation help in maintaining effective relationship among each other.

Although, all these skills help in developing own skills and also in becoming good manager which is most important for managing working of business. Along with this, it also support in accomplishing goal and achieving competitive business environment (Arends, 2014).

Development of career is important for remaining in the environment which is full of competition.
