What are core qualities (good qualities)?
Qualities are a person’s strengths. In other words: they are competencies and positive (character) traits that someone is good at. Core qualities also directly count as values because they are something positive that people like to strive for. That is why they are sometimes called core values.
When should you show and develop these qualities?
For example during career coaching it is often recommended to assess your own characteristics with a test, after which you can focus on improving some core qualities, so that you are ultimately suitable for, for example, a job in healthcare or education.
Also, many core qualities are useful / required in all types of work, as professional behavior is often expected at work.
However, work and career is not the only context for which you need to use good qualities. In fact, virtues like happiness, love, and kindness don’t need a reason to be used at all.
Virtues like happiness, love and kindness don’t need a reason.
