Summary/Abstract: Actions and processes leading into, or out of, crises depend on humans’ decisions, including the ones taken in the name of organizations. Prerequisites for prevention of repetition of crises, as well as for their abolition, include requisitely holistic individuals. Hence the humans/organizations should look at humans as multilayered entities. In synergy, not only as a sum, we define humans as: (i) physical, (ii) mental, (iii) social, (iv) spiritual, (v) economic, and (vi) specialized professionals, i.e. entities, marked by requisitely, though not absolutely, holistic pattern of relatively permanent characteristics. All these and other attributes form synergies. This gives the basis for behavior of individuals, including in their roles as employees. It offers a possible answer to crisis of 2008-, if the individuals evolve from being merely owners to requisitely holistic creators, who enjoy subjective and objective welfare more than the others. So far theory has covered requisite holism of approach, but not of individuals’ personalities.
