Why Total Wealth for Career Planning?

Often career planning is done having financial aspects of “wealth” as the prime goal. It does not bring out the “total needs” of an individual and then do career planning accordingly. With an increasing range of career development choices available students and young executives should explore the “total needs” in order to reach satisfying achievements.

Let’s look at the extreme. Take, for example, a person who has studied extremly well for decades losing the lot purely because the person has not been taught to “balance” her or his wealth. One can even realise financial goals at the cost of family, health or even marriage. Are these uncommon scenarios? Not at all.

For example, executives are good at planning for their companies but they fail to plan for themselves. In a recent Total Wealth Planning Programme for senior executives, almost all of them acknowledged that they have understood the Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) of the company but have not even attempted to understand the KPI’s of their families. They all agreed that family KPI’s are important but they lack the skills to identify and manage them.
