Integral management means that one or more teams manage themselves. The management of projects and processes, as well as the necessary guidance and instruction, is carried out flexibly, dynamically and up to date by the team and not statically by individuals with hierarchical supremacy. The organic approach means that not only the team but also its environment is taken into account. This approach has an empowering rather than frustrating effect if it is introduced at the right time in the right team in such a way that it does not overburden the team as a whole. A good methodical approach is therefore just as important as the willingness of individuals to organize themselves. Integral management is suitable wherever people actively work together, such as in teams, start-ups, companies and initiatives. Partnerships and new housing projects can also benefit from it. It is based on the desire for self-determined cooperation in a generally caring attitude. Genuine self-organization goes back to the self of every active person. Therefore, self- organization automatically leads to the empowerment of individuals and teams. Integral management faces the challenge of bringing the many different impulses of different people together into a cleverly organized, joint movement. The power of the individual should be as high as possible without becoming dominant. The communication effort should be as low as possible and the commitment as high as possible. This can be achieved quite well through a new approach to the principles that work in communities. NVC-plus now provides a simple method for this. Within the framework of NVC-plus, other tools can also be used as required.
