Manifesto for Humanistic Management

This innovative book explores why human-centred management matters and what it takes to re-invent management for the sake of employment satisfaction. Leading experts assess the practice through a lens of empowerment, analysing essential processes which allow people to stay healthy and flourish in their jobs.Contributing authors consider why prevailing theories and practices must change in order to strengthen the link between management and humanity, and how this acceptance of change has lasting impacts on business policies. Acknowledging the need to re-invent managerial processes in a human-digital economy, chapters propose that leaders must embrace more empathetic, connected approaches amidst rising technocracies and algorithm-driven business strategies. Tackling key challenges such as climate change, artificial intelligence and global political pressures, the book outlines why leaders must master human interaction in order to transform the way they educate the next generation.An authoritative source for speculations on the future of the field, A Manifesto for Humanistic Management is a vital resource for scholars and students of business, employment relations and corporate social responsibility. Business leaders, consultants and HR professionals will also benefit from its actionable recommendations.
