Okay, the sentences are fragments because they aren't complete. With new skills...never goes anywhere, with the new skills you would be possecing...what? what would happen? what would you do with them? You need to answer all possible questions with a sentence.
As for the 'such as formal...' just take the last sentence add a ; to it then add that sentence all as one
Redundant sentence is also a tad bit confusing. operate at their most effective point means nothing... So instead you could say It will also instill one on one skills one would need to improve their intrapersonal capability. or something....

A sentence fragment is a thing which you consider to be a sentence, or treat it like a sentence with a capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end, but which lacks the full grammatical structure of a sentence. Often the verb is left out, sometimes other parts. As a sentence, it simply does not work.

Redundant means more than is necessary. Or as my old teacher used to say, "comes from the Department of Redundancy and Repetition Department." [Did you notice this is a sentence fragment; it should actually be a part of the first sentence.]

For example, if you have said what you mean to say clearly, and then you add another sentence which says nothing new, the second sentence is redundant. You don't need it.

Read your sentences out loud.
What is the subject and predicate?
Does the sentence make a complete thought by itself?
