First developed in the early 1990s, Seeing Things Whole is a three-fold model that helps individuals and organizations think about their lives as a set of relationships among three key dimensions\u2014identity, purpose, and stewardship. The Reell Office of Seeing Things Whole connects Augsburg\u2019s mission of educating students as responsible stewards and thoughtful leaders to the way organizations engage in meaningful, purpose-driven work in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe three dimensions of Seeing Things Whole align well with Augsburg\u2019s commitment to educate for lives of service,\u201d said Tom Morgan, professor of leadership studies, who introduced Seeing Things Whole to Augsburg in 2016, integrating it into the Master of Arts and Leadership and Master of Business Administration programs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what the chosen discipline or professional aspiration, learning is best grounded in clarity regarding one\u2019s values (their Identity), thoughtful consideration of who it is they desire to serve (their Purpose), and an abiding sense of how one\u2019s resources are acquired and are being cared for (their Stewardship).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing Things Whole offers a disciplined process to support leaders who seek greater connection between their organizational values and the challenge of navigating today\u2019s accelerating changes in the workplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel energized to support leaders\u2019 ability to think critically about the unique times in which we find ourselves while remaining deeply rooted to the values that support them to thrive,\u201d said Keri Clifton, program director.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
