Personality: The New Superpower in the Workplace

Our CEO shares why personality is the new workplace superpower in People Management. Discover why understanding people, not just skills, is key to unlocking performance.

We’re proud to share that our CEO has been featured in People Management, the UK’s leading publication for HR and workplace professionals, with his article “Why personality is the new workplace superpower.”

It’s an idea we strongly believe in at Barefoot Elearning and SkillsAssess: skills matter, but personality shapes how people learn, collaborate, and perform.

As the article explains, understanding personality helps organisations unlock potential and build stronger, more adaptable teams. Frameworks such as DISC give leaders practical insight into how people think, communicate and thrive, helping to reduce friction, increase engagement, and boost overall performance.

For us, personality also plays a central role in learning. At Barefoot Elearning and through our SkillsAssess tool, we help companies identify skills gaps and design personalised training pathways. When you layer personality insights on top of that, learning becomes far more effective, because it aligns with how each person learns best.

A reflective learner might prefer independent study and coaching, while a more social profile thrives in group workshops. When organisations understand these differences, they can create learning experiences that truly stick.

We’re delighted to see our CEO’s thoughts featured in People Management and to be part of a wider conversation about building more human-centred workplaces, where learning is not just about what people know, but who they are.
