The chapter goes into depth about the difference between Congeniality versus Collegiality. According to the book, these two topics are very similar but they also have one important difference between the two. Congeniality refers to the relationships we build and the sociable and friendly traits we deliver towards others. Collegiality on the other hand refers to being friendly and building relationships to the people who work with us or do the same jobs as us.In the Hospitality industry, building Collaborative Cultured based relationships are really important. This field is first and foremost a networking business. The world of hospitality expands and evolves based on who knows who and who make connections. Hospitality is a business where, "it isn't what you know, it is who you know". Building a collaborative culture is extremely important because without the collaborating and networking, it is very difficult to become successful.
Building trust and establishing relationships in the work field are the key to success. Hospitality is defined as "the act of giving a generous and friendly welcome to entertaining guests". It will be difficult to establish a good bond and trusting relationship with anyone who is not hospitable.
This chapter can relate to my future career because, building a collaborative culture is imperative. As mentioned above, this industry is a network based field and building trust between colleagues and clients are a must. One main trait a person needs to have in hospitality is, congenial traits. You need to build these relationships and build these trust levels with clients and customers to have a successful business and connection with your consumers. But none of this would be possible if we don't build the collegiality relationships. Building the relationships and trust with staff, as well as working as a team can make building the bond with clients that much easier. When everyone is on the same page, great things happen in the work place. And when the workplace runs smoothly, such as a hotel, the clients are happy.Source: Nussbaum-Beach, Sheryl, and Lani Ritter.
