Explanation
★The phrase is an example of tautology, so that is the answer.
★Tautology is saying the same thing twice in different words within one expression.
★Here personal attention and individually repeat the same idea, so the phrase says one thing twice over.
★Succinctness is the opposite, being brief and to the point, which this phrase is not.
★Circumlocution is talking around a point in a roundabout way, which is different from repeating the same idea.
★Wordiness is using more words than needed in general, but the exact fault of restating the same meaning is tautology.
