I was recently asked to explain the Schilagi Interest and Skill Profile (SISP). I responded by saying that it was a series of 88 questions for people in the hospitality industry. The individual responses to these questions where compared to those submitted by operating managers. The combined results could provide hospitality students with curriculum direction and people working in the industry with career direction.
Upon reflection, I want to add that the four outcomes of the profile results:
1- Capitalize: High Interest and High Skill sets
2- Strengthen: High Interest and Low Skill sets
3- Analyze: Low Interest High Skill
4- Circumvent: Low Interest Low Skill
(Details in Reality Check for Leaders)
The respondent is provided with valuable information about their life’s work. I honestly believe that we do not spend enough time thinking about what we like to do and what we can do. People and Organizations need productive turnover. People in the wrong jobs who hate going to work make accomplishing goals that much more difficult. We need people who come to work thinking about what they get to do rather than what they always have to do. The SISP can move them in the right direction, assisting in making that happen.
