"…the skills associated with industry knowledge make up only 7 percent of the total competencies needed for effectiveness, while communication and relationship development make up 65 percent of the skills needed."
Roger R. Pearman, Hard Wired Leadership
With a focus on organizational development, why do we call ourselves "Wellness Resources?" Our fundamental operating premise is that the greatest potential for improving any organization's success lies in enhancing the mental, physical, and spiritual “wellness” of its people. Although we are often called in to resolve a crisis; we do not approach the task like Emergency Medical Technicians, focused solely on the immediate symptoms. Like a good physician, we are concerned also with addressing the underlying conditions that led to the crisis –conditions which, in organizations, usually involve issues of personal development and interpersonal relationships. By improving participants' state of “wellness” at the same time we address the immediate “health-crisis,” we also improve other aspects of the organization that were being negatively impacted by the underlying problem, enhancing its overall ability to adapt, innovate, and maximize productivity.
"I believe that the fundamental work of this time—work that requires the participation of all of us—is to discover new ways of being together."
Margaret Wheatley, Leadership and the New Science
