Personality Management

All living organisms have a genetically encoded need to live and survive. In man, the desire for free development and self-realization is enhanced by the ability to adapt to changing conditions and even to change them in the form of innovation, to actively participate in the cultivation of life.

According to Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, being human is not a fact, but a possibility. We have a lot of doers but not enough makers. The performer does, what he's told, without thinking about the purpose of the work he's been entrusted with, mechanically based on the standards, categories, unified procedures. The creator is not satisfied with what is, he seeks and finds new solutions to do things better and more successfully. They create value through motivation, critical thinking and creativity. The bonus for him is self-fulfilment from meaningful activity.

The key to our application is an understanding of Comenius' triad „ want, know and be able“. This book is based on it. Not enough „ know“, if we lack the will to act. Not enough „ power“, if we open up a spectrum of possibilities that we do not want. The value of this triad lies in the interplay of its links to achieve synergistic effects. It leads us to what makes a person human – to reach self-realization through self-knowledge, self-evaluation and self-development.

Personality Management is committed to this endeavour by providing advice and assistance to anyone who wants it. The book is primarily aimed at students of the social sciences, humanities (especially pedagogy and andragogy), management, human resources management and personnel management, but it can appeal to everyone, who wants to live a full, a meaningful life, or inspire others to do the same.
