Personality Development

Introduction

Before 5-6 years ago, we all are known that there is no any term related to the personality development and soft skill development.

But due to change in the competitive environment, this change forces the person to grip these necessary changes .if we are going back, there is a need of a person who have great knowledge of the related aspect and no Infosys on their skills, but in these era with the introduction of the personality development and soft skill every person is try to adopt this...

                             Let take a brief look on the term “personality development” ….

Personality development is all about to change the one’s attitude to see the things... Every person has his own way to feel the things and to observe the thing in a very positive way. It listens to be very easy but actually not to be so.

 If we LOOK it in a practical way, we cannot able to forget the person who has a very good attitude and the way to pretend and see the thing. We really very influence with that kind of the person…and not in front but we really feel “WHAT A ATTITUDE YAR”

In simple way, we can say that personality development means enhancing and grooming one’s outer and inner self to bring about a positive change in your life. Each individual has a distinct persona that can be developed, polished and refined. this process include boosting ones confidences ,improving communication and language speaking abilities ,widening ones scope of knowdge,developing certain hobbies or skills, grace to the way to looks, talks and walks and overall changing oneself with positivity. Liveliness and peace...

In simple words, we can say that personality development means to bring the positivity in the behavior

“There is a little difference in the people  but that little difference make a big difference , the little difference is attitude and a big difference is whether it is positive or not” . It is very important to make up of the thinking and imagination power. It really helps the person to improve himself very deeply.

In education level, we get the things only to increase the knowledge,

It is right,

However, it has no value, if we are not able to apply the knowledge.

Moreover, there is a need to get some specialty so that we can do work with and in good way.

   

                                  “PERSONALITY”………………….!!!!!  

                                      WHAT COMES TO MIND?

                       Does personality means famous people….

“DEVELOPMENT”……………..!!!!

WHAT COMES TO MIND?

Does development means physical growth….

                             , it is not so ……

  Personality means an integrated organization of the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, psychological and spiritual characteristics of an individual.

Moreover, development is ongoing process skill attitude knowledge.

Personality is an important factor that enhances individual career. It covers the inner aspects of the individuals such as motivation, perception, feeling, reaction, attitude, value.etc…

Personality includes all “traits”

                                    Here, I used the word “traits” which means consistent way of behaving in which people differ from one another.  Intelligence, aggressiveness, musical aptitude, honesty, seriousness and friendliness are all examples for “traits”. This called psychological feature…

I have some of the examples of different type of personalized person.

Generally, people have four types of personality.

• Directness
•  Extroversion
•  Pace
•  Structure

Directness: - the person having this kind of personality is

• Outspoken and direct
•  Good trouble shooters
• Thrive on solving problem
•  Hate anyone looking over their shoulder
• Attack things aggressively.

Extroversion: - this kind of people is

•  Enthusiastic and pleasant.
• Versatile in any situations.
• Get things accomplished through people.
•  Like group discussion and encourage participated in decision making.
• Concerned with how others respond to them.

Pace: - the person having this personality is

•  Co-operative.
• Love peace and harmony.
•  Dependable and reliable.
•  Good planners.
•  Have good memory.
•  Friendly and make great friends.

Structure

•  Hate to make mistakes.
• Well organized.
• Have eye for details.

Every person has his or her own opinion and this reaction of the opinion makes a distinct (different) personality. In simple words, we can say that, personality development is an overall winning approach towards life. Here I want to draw your attention towards the personality development programs that helps the person to remove their unwanted habits and make the person confident...

                                     Before the introduction of the personality development programs there was no requirement of these kinds of qualities in a person for seeking a job, but education alone was considered enough. Due to the changing environment and huge population there is a need to have mare effective people was realized and every industry or company looks forward to have readymade workers and officials. Therefore, there is a need to have personality development programs at college level to make the student versatile and confident.

Personality development also means enhancing and grooming one’s outer and inner self to bring about a positive change in one’s life. Each individual has a distinct persona that can be developed, polished and refined. This process include boosting one’s confidence, improving communication and language speaking abilities , increases one’s scope of knowledge .developing certain hobbies or skills grace to the way one looks, talks and walks and overall changing oneself with positivity ,liveliness and peace.

There is little difference in people but that little difference in people makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude and the big difference is whether it is positive or not…

 Thus, I mean to say that personality is also including developing the attitude of the person. Attitude makes a very important part in one’s personality...

Let take one example of a positive attitude ….

 There is a half glass of water in front of two people, one person see the glass and say “only half glass water” and the another person ask “waao half glass water”

This shows the two different attitude of the person, one is not satisfy with the half water and the other is happy with that…

Now we discuss the requirements towards the development of fine personality. There must be

•  Clarity of goals and purpose in life.
• Doing beyond expectation.
•  Learning from failures.
•  Initiatives.
• Self discipline.
•  Managing.
•  Team work.
• Heard work/ smart work.
•  Positive attitude.
• I can do insured of I cannot do.
•  I choose to do instead of I have to do or I need to do.
•  Instead of why me say try me.

This will only happen only if we make that happen goal in through starting point goal...

•   Attitude towards failure and mistakes.
•  Upholding the ideal once again even if a person failed a thousand times.
•  We should learn from our mistakes and change our self.
•  See to that mistakes are not repeat.
•   Do not find fault with other for one own mistakes.

It is very easy to judge the mistake of others, difficult is to recognized our own mistake..

Thus we can say that to improve the attitude we must have improve the attitude towards mistake.

And mistake is painful when they happen, but year’s later collection of mistake is called experience, which leads to success. so there is a need to try adopt these essential habits.

                         Let, we go for soft skill…

                                                Soft skill refers t the cluster of personality traits, .social grace, facility with language, personal habits friendliness...

Soft skills are the technical requirements of a job..

     Examples of soft skills – personal qualities, responsibility, self esteem, sociability, soft management, integrity, honesty.

 Good soft skills are in fact scarce in the highly competitive corporate world will help you to “stand out” in a crowed of routine job seekers and mediocre skills and talent. If we are talk to the employer that what makes you stand out in the crowed?

The most common answer from an employer

•  Positive ethic
•  Good attitude
•   Desire to learn and be trained. And good attitude

It is a behavioral skill which cannot be tought.however it can be developed through continuous training.

 Following are the soft skills when the employers look for when looking for new employee:

These are:-

Courtesy (polite) considerate behavior good manners

Good attendance:-presence at event or institution report to work on a regular basis (every day).

Honesty:-moral uprightness the quality, condition, or characteristics of being fair, truthful and morally upright…

Eye contact: - the act of looking directly into the eyes of another person.

Flexibility: -to adapt a new situations and the ability according to circumstances.

Common sense: -good judgment: - sound practical judgment derived from “experience” rather than a study.

As we already discuss the hard skill i.e. technological work is required in vary old good time.

Let we compare soft skill V/s hard skill...  
     
       Soft skills

•  Ability to interact and communicate positivity and productively with others sometimes called character skills...
•  Relates attitude and outlooks on life.
• Learn as we group up.
• Not directly thought in schools.
• Difficult to explain, but we know when we see effective “soft skill”.                                            Hard skills:-
•  It is a specific skills, task or job oriented.
•  Technical skills and academic skills.
•   Easy to define.
•  Observable.
•  Measurable by performance, tests or quizzes.
•  Directly taught in schools.

Thus soft skills make us teachable

• Able to work and share with others
•  Ready to learn and work...

And hard skills let us get things done

• Performance based
• Focus is on accomplishments.

Here we can conclude that both hard and soft skills are important for a good personalized person.

 The following main reasons are

• Soft skills as important as hard skills.
• Can teach hard skill to those with soft skills probably cannot teach.
• Soft skill/ technical skill d not matter without soft skills.

It is very true that there are intangible qualities required for a 360⁰ development of an individual. These are….

• Remain young, never stop striving towards perfection.
• Even in our balance create win-win situations with grace.
• Always be eager to learn.
• Learn to learn from mistakes and take corrective action.
• Be a team player.
• Be accountable for your own satisfaction.
• Maintain consistency in approach.
• Understand difference between confidence and ego.

 You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose...

One question I want to put that...

Person with good soft skills or technical skills, whom would you prefer?

 Yes, we absolutely prefer, enhance soft skill!!

Soft skills or “people skill” are characteristics that influence and individual’s personal and professional relationships, work performance and career prospects.

Technical skills are specific skills, tasks or activities are specific skills, task or activities that you need to be proficient in to be eligible for a particular job.. Many soft skills are those that everybody has to varying degrees. Many soft skills are inherent part of a individual’s personality, yet many can de acquired or learned. If the lack of a particular soft skill is identified, it can be addressed and one can be trained to acquire that particular skill. To be successful in any profession or field of work, having good soft skills are as essential as having technical skills...

Good communication skills play an important role in building successful relationship, whether personal or professional. Creating a stellar piece of work is of no use if you are unable to showcase it to others...

Appreciation, recognition and opportunities are things that you would lose out on for the hard work you have put in. working on your soft skills can be extremely helpful in the long run. Here are some way of achieving them.

Read habitually :- reading is the key to understanding the language belter. It teaches you about word play, usage and timing and will also help you write better.

Take a public speaking class:- if speaking in front of an audience scares you , you can overcome this fear by performing an exercise that needs you to do just this develop a good sense of humor and can simplify tough technical concept into easy follow concepts.

Globalization, in almost all arrears of work, has made it imperative to deal with diverse situations involving people from divergent background.

If further emphases the role of the soft skills. it is not enough to be able to just do your work properly , but its also about being able to proactively make a positive difference to those around you in order to take the organization a step forward to achieve its goals.

  NEED FOR PERSONALITY AND SOFT SKILLS

Any college while selecting for a good employee looks for a person not only eligible in the academic level but also has a soft skills and personality.

 This reminds me a very truly words said by the “MR. DILIPCHENOY” CEO OF NATIONAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL...

“IT IS NOT THE EDUCATION THAT DISPRIMARILY RESPONSIBIBLE FOR LACK OF SKILL. IT IS PROBABLY THE LACK OF SKILL. IT IS PROBABLY YTE LACK OF SYSTEMATIC APPROACH IN SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING ON WHATEVER EDUCATION ONE RECEIVED”

   I personally feel that an education is not how much you have committed to memory or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate the person that how he must use this education in actual way...there is a demand of skilled persons everywhere,

Due to analyses in every sector it is to be concluded that

Ø  There a need of educated and trained teachers/ professional’s to overcome the skill shortage is itself a major issue...

Ø  There is a demand for skilled labor is everywhere not only a skilled labor is everywhere not only educated but skilled too.

Ø  In it sector there is a shortage of a half a million engineer..

Ø  In banking and finances 50% to 80% personnel’s are still shortage…

Ø   Aviation shortage- there is a shortage of skilled and experienced pilots

Ø   Hospitality shortage: shortage of trained people

Ø   Textile industry: - would require million people by 2010.

From the stated examples, we come to know that important for a person is to be skilled.

If we talk about any biggest it industry, they recruit the best professionals from the best institute in the country and spend over$ 184 billion in training programs annually or investing upto 30 weeks of residential programs when it hires?

SHRI KANTAN MOORLY, VP AND HEAD EDUCATION AND REARCH INFOSYS TECHNOLOGIES

SAYS

 “We recruit people on the bases of their learning ability and enable our engineer to meet client requirement”

There is not a need just for individual to have strong conceptual knowledge but also strong application capabilities.

This system of education will raise in the number of education will raise in the number of educated unemployed and the only solution is that there should be a skill based education in place os degree based system..

So we need to developed

• Communication (spelling, listening, reading and writing)
• Information and technology enquired decision making skills.
• Working with others
• Reasoning skills
• Creative thinking skills
• There is a need to balance life, work, and home.

Strike a balance among your personal, professional and social life-

•          Maintaining a balance in your life for harmony and happiness.

•           Don’t bring office work at home on weekends

 And in office be determined to give your 100%.

•           Develop a social circle and try to spend your time with

 People who have positive attitude towards life

 Shankar sir Nivasasan, chief people officer, cognizant, feels that often students coming out Indian institute are technically proficient. “But they lack behavioral prerequisites such as communication, presentation confidence and other soft skills”..

It is very cleared from his santance that we are  not getting the education that we realy need but  a lot of things we studed ,that  doesnot required in this present sanario …

Here I want to include one more thing that, if we  once look  in to the requirement of the  jobs ,

 Don’t  you think  education  that we are geting are realy help us in performing  job ?

obsolutly not,

why,

 I want to  quote here  the examples of  today education system, which is the  base that create the feelings of the positive attitude.. but the education we get are not acurate because most of the student studed the books which is of vary old edition .. they does not get any thing new……DON’T  u think it is right…. As I  explaned  above that personality is not a artifical mask that improve our look. .. but it is the inner feeling of the person that actually help person to improve…

It is not necessary to join a personality development course; one can take a few tips and develop his or her own aura or charm.

You must have heard this a million times “think positive” and realy it works.

Always make more smile. It adds to your face value and to your personality as well

Read a few articals in the news paper loudly. This will help in communicating fluently.

Prepare a chart that mentioned your strength and weaknesses and concentrate on that try to improve upon the same. Do not forget to strengthen your strengths.

Spend some time alone concentrating on you and yourself alone.

Practice meditation and youga. It will definatly help you develop inner peace and harmony that will reflect outside.
