Every individual has characteristics that comprise capabilities, aptitudes, attitudes, emotions, and aspirations, among others. These characteristics continuously evolve in a person. These, in a sense, are expressions of the energy of a person. Only when these are developed in a positive manner, with mutual alignment, would an individual feel fulfilled. Given that every individual is a part of multiple ecosystems, from the family to the organization, each with its own changing dynamics, the fulfilment does not come easy. Personal mastery helps a person achieve that fulfilment.
This book titled ‘Personal Mastery: Competence–Behaviour Frameworks’, with its thirty insightful chapters, aims to lead the readers on a journey of personal mastery. Life provides to an individual as many opportunities as challenges. Personal mastery involves setting and achieving high standards of performance, with positive contributions to the family, the organization, and the society. The journey is a journey of introspection, reflection, and betterment. It involves self-awareness, self-motivation, self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-control, besides inter-personal relationships. Personal mastery involves building strong competencies and positive behaviours. This book presents multiple frameworks to achieve personal mastery.
