Conclusion: The Human Potential Is Continually Being Explored And Maximised

Conclusion:
The human potential is continually being explored and maximised to the hilt. This is what most progressive organisations are trying to achieve through their human resource development programs and activities.
Some aspects of human resource development management such as hiring, promotion decisions and trainings are largely based on the principle that people in organisations differ significantly from one another. People differ in terms of intellectual abilities, temperament, motor skills, attitudes, level of aspiration, education, training, and most importantly, interests.
There is no complete and perfect human resource development plan for any organisation because members will always try to pursue their interests. These interests are not necessarily selfish and self-serving in nature but built more on the need to adapt to the changing nature of organisations nowadays. The survival of today's organisations is being tested by a lot of political, economic, cultural and a lot of other factors. Different people will have different interpretations on how to move the organisation towards success. These divergent views will always have an effect on the way human resources development activities are be formalised and implemented. In any change plan, there will always be winners and losers. The law of averages will see to it that even if all of the best intentions are laid out and put into proper perspectives, there will always be those who would feel that their interests were not served and there will always be those who feel that they have won and should continually be served upon. In human resource development cases, different issues and problems will always make it difficult for organisations to please all of their members. There is a fine balance between maintaining and protecting the organisation's general interest with that of its members' interest.
