siliconindia | | July 20174A situation: when you ask people to name big players in the world of business, they instantly take names like Microsoft, Starbucks, Facebook or Apple. When asked about the layers of management these companies have or the how's and why's of the strategies they set, few of them are aware; most of them do not care. What people revere about the companies is not how they are structured or their specific approaches to management but their capabilities that includes their ability to innovate or to respond to changing customer needs. These organizational capabilities make a huge difference in the progress of business. These capabilities - the collective skills, abilities, and expertise of an organization are the outcome of investments that a company invests on in staffing, training, compensation, communication, and other human resources areas. They represent the ways that people and resources are brought together to accomplish work. They form the identity and personality of the organization by defining what it is good at doing and, in the end, what it is. For business to prosper in this new global context, current leaders host new skills and competencies, one of which is personality development training. Through this program, they build self-confidence, enhance self-esteem and improve overall personality of the participants, more importantly aims at grooming the participants through sensitizing them about proper behavior, socially and professionally, in formal and informal circumstances. Leading companies are seen to retool their talent management systems to reflect the new competency imperatives to position their firms for future success. They tend to define the mission-critical skill sets and mindsets leaders to create and protect value for the firm and society in the future, and embed these in their organizational competency models that would identify, develop and deploy top talent to drive high performance and realize business results.
