Before deep diving into the blog, let’s first read what William James has said about personality development.
“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.” — William James
Do you know a renowned personality, “William James”? He is known for psychology as a formal discipline and proved to be a helping hand in establishing the school of functionalism in psychology.
Now let’s first understand
What is Personality Development?
Personality development is made from two words. Personality: a person’s ability to do tasks and tackle things. Development—the process of improving yourself daily to get the best out of you and identify who you are. What can you do? How can you be a useful asset to nature and be a useful resource?
What role does it play in your life and the corporate sector?
Personality Development in Life
Personality development plays a key role in different aspects of individual life. The right development of personality leads to the positive development of a person, which proves to be a mandatory part of one’s successful, satisfied, and happy life.
On the other hand, less attention to personality development leads to frustration, anger, and a sad, regretful life where the person and his/her surroundings also get affected. That is why a person should be calm, happy, and confident in doing tasks, including more and more spiritual and moral values every day, be motivated all the time, and never sound lazy and dull. One should always be energetic and motivated.
One tip for the readers by my side is to always say to yourself, “I am energetic, I am happy, I improve my weakness every day, I can do anything, I am not comparable to others, negative energy never beats me, I rise every day and keep rising throughout my life.”
Personality Development in the Corporate Sector
The amount of role personality development plays in one’s life is more of a contribution to one’s corporate life despite different sectors.
Some good attitudes that one should carry in the corporate sector are:
Cleanliness: One should be hygienic from top to bottom, as your physical appearance is the first impression in any organization.
Outfits: One should always carry formal or business casuals in their industry to reflect professional personality, which conveys discipline and formality.
Behavior: All people carry one of the two types of behavior.
Good Behavior: Good behavior refers to being polite, crisp, clear, and less speaking, but when required, it should sound professional and logical. It is always good to listen first and more before speaking in an organization.
Bad Behavior: Being rude, arrogant, gossiping, bullying, procrastinating, interrupting, dishonesty, and blame-shifting make up the array of bad behavior.
Always carry neutral behavior in an organization in every situation, not so good that people take advantage of you, and not too bad that people back bitch and are afraid of you. Having neutral behavior promotes optimism and clear vision in every step of life.
Leadership Qualities: Possessing and leading a team, company, or organization reflects discipline and attentive qualities. It is the commanding quality that is useful in managing the company and its smooth functioning.
Learning attitude: Going to any organization with a learning attitude shows interest in doing assigned work and being a useful resource.
Adaptable: You should be flexible and ready to do any kind of work in any assigned locations, based on business requirements.
Conflict resolution: Never have conflicts over small things in an organization, and if there is a possibility, try to resolve it in a serene manner and with mutual understanding.
Self-Awareness: Always know yourself first and be aware of yourself.
Confidence: Be confident in performing any task; this reflects your knowledge of work.
Is it a topic of attention? Should you work on it?
If you have read the above headlines, you already know how important it is to work on your personality development to bring the hidden strength to life.
The expression “the earlier the better” is a correct phrase in English for developing a personality; it’s just that to know your inner capabilities first and later explore the world.
From where do you have to start?
It’s good to start developing your personality from the very first hour of your day, which is in the morning.
Start your day by attaching yourself to the universe’s energy first by walking around the garden or some greenery place, then meditating to keep yourself relaxed.
Exercise regularly fits your physical schema, fostering physical development in life.
As this topic is about knowing your strengths and capabilities and your weaknesses, your morning should start with you. How? It’s simple: just start spending time with your body and inner self, plan out the day, and execute it accordingly; if you lack somewhere, note down it and restart again from next morning, then engage yourself in other activities.
How do you identify your weaknesses and overcome them easily?
If you know the cause of the problem and understand it deeply, then there is no same mistake you make until and unless you want.
So, start identifying your weaknesses first by watching your day-to-day activities and analyzing them deeply where you lack. The best way is to plan out your day and execute activities one by one, keeping proper records where you are found incapable.
