ASSIGMENT-2
SUMMARY

This article started talking about that the training professionals try to develop skills and give
knowledge two their trainee, but they ignore the personality development aspect. No one is
perfect in this world everyone has its strength and weaknesses so it talks about when a person
have difficulty or weakness in doing some work it is hard to define that it is skill issue or a
personality issue. If the trainer have to observe someone’s behaviour then they faeces
difficulty because it is hard to know that what they are looking knowledge, skills, personality,
attitude or motivation all these five things are very important for human development but the
trainer need to find out what are they really observing.
This article tried to differentiate personality and sill with a very good example which lets that

want to seat in a empty row in the class room and he does not smile and always say quite but

every one with a smile giving answers to the questions asked in a very energetic way. When
we was asked how he did it he answered he is motivated to achieve the result he wanted and

MY OPENION

Personality is developed in a very early stage in a life of a human and everyone personality is
different from other and every personality is not suitable for every job. It is difficult to
change the personality of a person unless one himself do not want to change it. Today
companies focus more on skill development and knowledge and ignore the personality
development aspect ignoring the fact that even if the skills are developed and the work is not
suitable for a persons personality he would not be able to perform the task properly.
Skills gives you the technique to do the work but personality gives you motivation to do the
work but it does not mean that skill is not important if you have the personality to do the
work skill keeps the same value as personality combination of skill and personality can make
a person perfect in his work.
A person overcome personality preference when he sees new opportunities and his betterment
by changing his personality this opportunity could be any motivator like pay, interest,
comfort etc. e.g. If a person is working as a sales person and had developed his skills and
personality according to that but one day he got offer as a marketing professional with better
pay and less work duration by seeing this opportunity he got motivated and started
developing marketing skills which is required for the job.

individual stays. Humanist theory, it says that a personality is developed by an individual by
the experience in his life specially in the early stage of its life.
According to verywell personality development id much more that academic exercise as it
requires motivation. Personality research have given its part in sectors like business, health,
medicine, technology. It also says that personality can also change due to health and illness of
a person which is very unpredicted.
