What is “Whole-Person Management”? What does this approach integrate the leadership skills you need to manage an organization? In the MacGregor, you will examine the idea of sustainable executive performance (SEP), which is an experiential approach for whole person learning. With your peers and Faculty Mentor, discuss the core commonalities of these two concepts and what influence they have on managerial performance and on executive function in the workplace. Reflect on how are the two ideas addressing sustainability, well-being and the welfare of the wider society?

Synthesize what the author might mean by the following key points:
1.We see a logical link between both perspectives since innovation and the long-term success of a company should not be swayed by actions focused on short-term gain which often lead to irresponsible practices that destroy value for stakeholders in short, the values-value interplay cited by many corporate leaders but perhaps not as present in practice as we are led to believe.
2. In the same way that an organisation ought not be a machine that outsources innovation as a commodity, people are not machines who have an incomplete view of their whole self. A new type of leadership is critical to the sustainable competitiveness of a firm, which further permeates throughout the organisation.
