Holistic Management
Holistic Management enables us to improve the quality of your life while enhancing the
environment that sustains us all. And it's all based on a simple change in the way
you make decisions. Holistic Management gives you a practical way to develop
a clear, focused vision for your future, and enables you to plan how to get there in
the most economically, environmentally and socially sound way.
The inherent beauty of Holistic Management is that it does not attempt to moralize or
"dogma-tize" by setting one global standard for "socially sound," but rather,
allows each individual, business, or community to determine what their own values are,
and make sound decisions based on these values.
Businesses need to take a more holistic view, which is to recognize that in the long run,
a company cannot make an economically sound decision that is not also socially sound,
and likewise, it cannot make a socially sound decision that is not also
environmentally sound--they are unavoidably interrelated. Holistic Management decision-making
is designed specifically to account for these interrelationships, allowing businesses
to be wholely responsible in their practices.
Relevance to personal life
Peace, joy and love are our true states of being. Stress disturbs the system and
produces negative thoughts and emotions, which then get stored as toxins in the body.
This leads to disease in the body and a disturbed mental state. By bringing our body
in rhyme with nature we can reverse the ill-effects and attain happiness.
Aahar, Vihar, Aachar and Nidra are the principles which if followed properly brings
a person back to life.
Relevence to corporate world
Every successful company knows the importance of maintaining and upgrading its facility
and equipment to obtain optimum performance levels from its employees. Unless
employees are well centered and balanced, a company's economic growth, and true potential,
cannot be realized. The practical techniques of Holistic Management, which can be
easily learned and practiced, improve concentration, enhance creativity,
increase efficiency and enable a greater sense of unity in the workplace.
Holistic Management strengthen a company's managers and employees so that they
can experience unshakable calmness and inner clarity in the midst of any business
challenge or crisis.
Holistic decision making
The testing questions enable us to see the likely effect of any decision on the whole
you manage. We can be fairly sure that any decision tested is not only economically sound but
simultaneously environmentally and socially sound, both short- and long-term.
The tests are:
Cause and Effect : Does this action address the root cause of the problem?
Social : Could this action, due to prevailing attitudes or beliefs, create a weak link in
the chain of actions leading to your holistic goal?
Financial : Does this action strengthen the weakest link in the chain of production?
Source and Use : Is the energy or money to be used in this action derived from the most
appropriate source in terms of your holistic goal?
Sustainability: Will this action lead toward or away from the future resource base described
in your holistic goal?
Society and Culture : How do you feel about this action now? Will it lead to the quality of
life you desire? Will it dversely affect the lives of others?
Once we are familiar with the tests and have internalized thequestions, the testing will be
accomplished in seconds, and will be something we begin to do subconsciously.
