,Every individual has his own characteristic way of behaving, responding to emotions,
perceiving things and looking at the world. No two individuals are similar.
You might like going out for parties but your friend might prefer staying back at home
reading his/her favorite book. It is really not necessary that if you like partying around,
your friend will also like the same. Here comes the role of personality.
1.1 What is Personality?
Personality has been derived from the Latin word “persona” which means “mask” used
by the actors to change their appearance. It is the combination of individual thoughts,
characteristics, behaviors, attitude, idea, and habits.
A brief definition would be that personality is made up of the characteristic patterns of
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make a person unique. In addition to this,
personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout
life.
Personality is the product of social interaction in group life. In society, every person has
different traits such as skin, color, height, and weight. They have different types of
personalities because individuals are not alike. It refers to the habits; attitudes as well as

,physical traits of a person which are not the same but have varied from group to group
and society to society.
Everyone has a personality, which may be good or bad, impressive or unimpressive. It
develops during the process of socialization in a culture of a specific group or society.
One cannot determine it of an individual exactly because it varies from culture to culture
and time to time. For example, a killer is considered criminal in peacetime and a hero in
war.
The feeling and actions of an individual during interaction molds the personality. It is
the sum of total behaviors of the individual, interests, mentality, and intelligence. It is
the sum of physical and mental abilities and capabilities.
Explanations for personality can focus on a variety of influences, ranging from genetic
explanations for personality traits to the role of the environment and experience in
shaping an individual's personality.
Environmental factors that can play a role in the development and expression of
personality include such things as parenting and culture. How children are raised can
depend on the individual personalities and parenting styles of caregivers as well as the
norms and expectations of different cultures.
1.2 What is ‘Personality Development’?
Personality development means developing a personality cult so as to create a strong
positive impression about you. Or Personality development is the development of the
organized pattern of behaviors and attitudes that makes a person distinctive.
Personality development occurs through the ongoing interaction of temperament
character, and environment. Personality constitutes of various elements like
intelligence, physique, temperament, patience etc. All these elements lead to a good
personality.
In the field of management, personality plays a key role in career building and success.

, skills and thereby enhancing their personality. Personality is somewhere eternal and it is
mainly dependent on the atmosphere in which a human being grows up.
Personality development is essential in guiding one to reach one’s goal. It involves
emotional control and balance. Personality development entails coordination,
cooperation, understanding, and right communication. To possess a charismatic
personality one needs high emotional intelligence.
For developing our personality we need well-nourished thoughts that would lead us
from immaturity to maturity from the state of naivety to a state of the knowledgeable
and alert individual.
Everyone has something great in them. Someone plays the piano well, someone is a
great cook or someone is brilliant in organizing and managing teams. These are our
skills but they are used for a certain period of a day. However, the life skills we are
talking about are used 24×7 in our life to make it better for ourselves and for others as
well. Hence the question what is personality development can be answered in several
manners since there are several ways to explain it.
