Being ‘all of yourself, to everyone, all of the time‘ is what we might call being our ‘best selves’, our ‘whole selves’.

If you want your people to bring that ‘whole self’ to work, you have to make sure the work feeds it properly:

• logical and creative,
• thinking and feeling,
• independent and communal,
• autonomous and collaborative,
• leading and following,
• familiar and innovative,
• left brain and right brain,
• etcetera,
• etcetera,

If you only use half the person, you’ll only get half the job.

In other words, the work needs to empower them to be fully human.

The investment pays off.   Handsomely.
