Good interpersonal relationships are critical to personal success. Realistic analysis of self and others forms the basis for development of personal and interpersonal skills.

Exploration and development of personal and interpersonal skills have become all the more important today, particularly in the backdrop of relationship management and service orientation coming to the fore. It is essential for professionals to reflect on their own personality and interpersonal skills of communications, socialization, counseling and assertiveness. The benefits of these efforts can be experienced by reviewing one's personal growth and performance. Interpersonal skills are pertinent to everyone and are constantly changing.

In interpersonal relations, mutual respect and mutual concern for other's views are important. Interpersonal skills along with a set of values and a range of attitudes which contribute to human behavior have to be explored, modified and developed with positive qualities of genuineness, empathy, warmth and unconditional regard.

It is equally important for an individual to reflect on his own behavior, beliefs and values. Self-Knowledge leads to perceptions about self that may or may not match with one's self-image. Accepting contradictions within as part of one's own personality creates peace with the self which allows one to reach out to other people.
