Personality Development- 

A Synopsis

Every effort is bound to bring success and satisfaction proportional to the attempt. Personality development is essential for success in any sphere. The development of personality calls for hard work, dedication, commitment and internalization of what is learnt.

Meaning of Personality:

Your personality is the type of person you are, which is shown by the way you behave, feel and think

Whole nature or character of a person

Mind plays a vital role for determining the behavior, feelings and thinking of a person under certain circumstances. Appearance, mannerisms, and speech do not reflect the real personality. We should have a clear grasp of the nature of our mind, and how it functions.

Why we should know our mind?

In order to execute the resolutions we make, our mind should be well trained and disciplined. We should take control of our mind from wandering.

What are the functions of the mind?

Memory: Past experiences and memories present various possibilities before the mind. The mind stores the good and bad impressions and the sum total of these impressions determine our character.

Deliberation: The mind examines the many options presented before it and deliberates on several things.

Decision making: It is the aspect of a person to discriminate between the real and the unreal, the moral and immoral. The will power is very essential for personality development to make decisions.

Self-consciousness: Human life is dictated by events and circumstances of the world. Once the mind gets refined one gets to know the real source of self-consciousness and becomes balanced.

What is character?

The impressions in our mind determine how we behave at a given moment, how we behave at a given moment, how we respond to a given situation. The sum total of all our impressions determines our character.

Personality Development- Essential Qualities:

Positive thinking

Self confidence

Learning from mistakes

Self reliance

Service

Personal magnetism of a person is what impresses others and hence it is personality that counts. The person who influences is a dynamo of power and when the person is ready, he/she can do anything and everything he/she likes. The person who has control over his own mind definitely will have control over every other mind.

The cause of all miseries is that we think pleasure to be the ideal to strive for. After a time we find that it is not happiness, but knowledge, towards which we are going and that both pleasure and pain are great teachers, and that we learn as much from evil as from good.

Our mind gets impressions for every work that we do, every movement of the body, every thought we think. What we are is decided by the sum total of these impressions on the mind. A person’s character is determined by the sum total of these impressions. The character becomes good if good impressions influence. If we continuously hear bad words, think bad thoughts, does bad actions our mind will be full of bad impressions, and influence our thought and work.

We have to control our negative emotions in order to build our personality. We have to be friendly towards others, merciful towards those in misery, happy when people are happy, and indifferent to the wicked people.

Before trying to change the people around we have to change ourselves. We have to own the responsibility ourselves for the past, present and future. Let us not throw blame on others, for our faults. We make our own future by taking the whole responsibility on our shoulders. We are the creators of our own destiny.

Let us do well and be good towards the poor. Let us not have any selfish motives and be patient in carrying out the work assigned.

Improving our strength stepwise we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and society.

A person who helps the world helps himself. Thinking of ourselves first results in selfishness, being unselfish brings success.

A person who shows heroism shall be acknowledged great by the world. Having faith in oneself is one of the essential traits for personality development.

A person develops his personality by innovation but not imitation. Sympathy towards fellowmen is an ethical part of personality development.

All success in any line of work is the result of concentration. We are all equal and inequality should not be practiced.

One should go ahead with commitment and execute the tasks assigned for a fully developed personality.

Upper Management Leadership

TQM

Upper Management Leadership

The need for upper management leadership stems from the need to create major changes. We do not know the extent to which Western Upper managers should take leadership of the quality function. The need varies from company to company. We also know that most upper managers are handicapped in charting an optimal course. They lack knowledge in depth as to what is going on in the quality function. What is recommended to these upper managers is:

Undertake a comprehensive review-an audit –of what is going on in the company with respect to quality. Based on the inputs secured from this audit, make the needed revisions in quality policies, organization, human relations, etc. including a decision on the extent to which upper management should take leadership of the quality function.

The comprehensive audit:

The areas to be audited should certainly include such major functional activities as: product development, purchasing and materials management, manufacture, inspection and test, marketing, and field service. One scenario for such audits is to schedule them about two months apart. For each area, and prior to the audit, a designated task force puts together some pertinent information including open questions of an upper management nature: policy information, organization and co-ordination, etc.

What should be the quality mission of the company?

What are the key qualities as seen by clients?

As to the key qualities, what is our state of competitiveness?

What opportunities do we have for quality improvement and reduction of quality related cost?

What can we do to make better use of the human resources in the company?

What threats are coming over the horizon?

The quality mission of the company is a good case in point. There is a school of thought which contends that the company’s mission is one of conformance to specifications, standards, etc. This contention is mostly valid when applied to the mission of individuals and departments in the company. However, it is mostly a serious misconception as to the company. The quality mission of the company is fitness for use.

Another broad category of questions turned up in the audits relates to organization and coordination. There are many ways in which actions taken by one department can create severe problems elsewhere in the company.

For example:

Some components purchased solely on the basis of price turn out to be the most expensive due to the quality problems they create during further processing.

The coordination needed to optimize company performance requires inter-departmental machinery of all sorts: early warning systems, communication, committees, etc. Upper management is well poised to create this machinery. However it must first learn what the needs are and what are the obstacles behind the needs.

A further and major element of upper management review will be that of the basic company organization structure of the quality. In West this organization structure features a large central quality department with numerous functions of quality planning, coordination and auditing. In many of the Western companies this same department also has direct command of the inspection and test personnel. All this contrasts sharply with the organization forms prevailing in Japan. There most of these quality- oriented functions are carried out by line personnel (who have the necessary training to carry out such functions). The Japanese do have quality departments but hey are small in terms of personnel and they perform a limited array of functions: broad planning, audit and consulting services.

To-date Selective Training

TQM

To-date Selective Training

In India training in the quality sciences has been largely confined to members of the specialized quality departments: quality managers, quality engineers, reliability engineers, inspection supervisors, and quality auditors. Such categories constitute only about 5% of the managerial and specialist forces in the companies. In contrast, the Japanese have trained close to 100% of their managers and specialists in the quality sciences. With such an imbalance in training there is no possibility for us to overtake the Japanese.

Variation in Training needs:

The major commonalities include

-The universal sequence of events for improving quality and reducing quality-related costs. (Creation of beneficial change)

-The universal feedback loop of control (Prevention of adverse change)

-Fundamentals of data collection and analysis

Other training needs vary widely. Here are some examples relative to specific functional departments:

Production design: Design review, reliability analysis, maintainability analysis, safety analysis, failure mode and effect analysis, fault tree analysis, design of experiments and analysis of variance, and life cycle costing.

Purchasing: Vendor survey, vendor qualification, audit of decisions and vendor rating.

Process Engineering: Process capability analysis, quality cost analysis, process control, concepts of operator self-control and self-inspection, measurement error, design of experiments and analysis of variance.

Production: Quality cost analysis, process capability analysis, concepts of operator self-control and self-inspection, process control, equipment maintenance, audit of decisions and trouble shooting.

Massive training requires thorough planning:

The need for such planning becomes evident when we realize that:

The massive program will take years-even a decade to work its way through the hierarchy.

The special needs of each functional department and job category should be identified and provided for.

The costs are substantial.

It is recommended that:

Establish a special task force to do the planning on a company-wide basis. The task force should consist of selected line managers plus a training manger and a quality manager. The mission of the task forces is to:

Identify the subject matter of the training needed by each job category

Identify possible sources for training materials and for leaders to do the training

Estimate the investment required in money, facilities and personnel.

Recommend a program including training media, locations, leaders and a time schedule.

A major limitation in setting up these training programs is a shortage of adequate training materials. We need badly an extensive array of training materials which cover management of quality for all functions and at all levels. Moreover, these materials should be designed to facilitate in-house training or at least, training by local leaders. Otherwise, companies will face the heavy burden of sending managers to distant cities, at high cost an with associated interruptions in work schedules.
