Every organisation needs to develop and retain whole people who can perform well. To do this, leaders must have a clear and deep understanding of what it means to be a whole person and understand the processes that develop whole people.
At the same time, you need to create a company culture that supports the positive aspects of high performance, ambition and personal goals, motivation, desire and joy of creating something together and as individuals.
It's not just about work-life integration, it's actually much more complicated and is mostly about creating balance and development in the different periods of our lives. To function as whole human beings, we need to live fully in the periods we go through in life.
I mit arbejdet med det hele menneske er jeg bla. blevet inspireret af USA´s native pepole som altid har tænkt i helheder og anvendt medicinhjul. i deres livs – og ledelsesfilosofi.
I think the medicine wheel is a great descriptive and explanatory tool for understanding ourselves and others as people, and it can also be used as a source of personal development.
The medicine wheel contains four major powers symbolised by direction, totemic attribute, animal symbol, and colour.
Stands for fire, substance, spirituality and provides luminous clarity. With these powers you can see far and wide, allowing you to make decisions that will give you direction. East is the sign of rebirth.
is water, and stands for innocence and trust, Here you can experience closeness to emotions and life, sensing the nature of the heart. South is the sign of growth.
stands for mother earth and is the sign of self-examination here you can look at your life path, work with your crises or transitions, your shadow sides and sun sides - find your identity.
is air and represents the power of thought. stands for wisdom and knowledge. Professional knowledge you acquire to solve the tasks you face. Wisdom about how you use your knowledge together with other people, wisdom therefore comes down to life wisdom. North is the sign of power.
Native peoples say that humans are the only creatures on earth born into imbalance. You are born into one of these places, from this place you draw your talents and understanding and throughout your life it will be the place where you most easily experience and interpret life.
The four directions contain a whole range of properties that have both positive and negative expressions. By working with the medicine wheel, you will gain insight into where you are on the wheel, which areas to work on, and which forces to use to solve different problems.
