Whole Person Leadership

Whole Person Leadership is a new leadership approach that is needed for sustainable development in the new business paradigm that emerges right now. This business paradigm is focusing on people, collaboration and process instead of machines, technology and control. Sustainable development has three main areas, social, ecological and economical sustainability. Whole Person Leadership focuses on the people and social aspects of sustainable development in order to reach whole sustainability including ecological and economical aspects. Everything starts with people and with self.

Whole Person Leadership builds from the foundation of relationships and genuine contact with oneself and others. It works with an invitation to the whole person to join the movement, including mind, spirit, emotions and body. This kind of leadership knows that if not the whole person is invited, people have to divide into one person they show when they are at work and other persons they show when they are not working. People will be like actresses in different movies and none of these movies will show the true self. It will be like building a brick house without proper foundation. You never know when the bricks come tumbling down.

Whole Person Leadership requires being open to what happens and not attached to outcome. Leading the whole person way includes to focus on and trust the process, to use tools and methods that support a life nurturing climate and to use ones power wise for the benefit of all.
