Covey and Holisme

Also the late Stephen Covey speaks about the complete human being in his book ‘The Eighth Habit’, which, according to Covey, consists of four dimensions: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. If these dimensions are translated in the world of professionals, it will lead to the following.

dimensionhuman beingorganisation
physicalbodyThe product you make or uses (Property,IT)
mentalthoughtsPolicy (management)
emotionalfeelingsPeople (behaviour, culture)
spiritualsoul, dreamsIdentity (vision, mission)

 

And the interaction and the relationship between these dimensions are important, because the holistic practitioner takes the elements as a whole as a starting point.

Therefore, apart from in the ‘ordinary’ forms of energy, a holistic approach means including also the special forms of energy in your considerations and decision making. A holistic approach therefore requires from the professional that he is willing to get off the beaten track.
