Worksheets to Create a Holisticgoal
Introduction:
A
holisticgoal is the heart of Holistic Management. For any given whole (the decision
makers, resources and money being managed), it provides personal direction and
can pull a group of people together through shared values and desired
lifestyles It gives us a way to
evaluate our decisions and actions to ensure that we are using our time,
resources and money to move us toward what we value most—for both the short and
long term.
A
holisticgoal is distinct from what we conventionally think of as a goal. While
it is a single, comprehensive statement, it is formed in three parts. It begins with:
1)
the
desired quality of life, based upon what people value most deeply; then,
2)
addresses
the ways to actually produce that quality of life; and finally,
3)
what
will sustain it far into the future.
Remember,
this is a living document. Just as we change and circumstances change so does
every holisticgoal change and evolve.
Here
are some guidelines to help you think about your
holisticgoal.
