Humanistic Management

Humanistic Management is a notion used for organizing practices that protect dignity and promote well-being and human flourishing within the planetary boundaries (Mele 2003, Mele 2009, Dierksmeier 2015). The cornerstones of dignity, well-being, and flourishing differentiate humanistic management from traditional economistic management in which all that matters is related to having a price. In humanistic perspectives there are many things in life that are intrinsically valuable, including human beings – who possess dignity – and, on a different level, other living beings. The ultimate purpose of humanistic management is to create sustainable flourishing on Earth rather than short-term wealth
