Our aim is to incubate dignity in organisations and align wellbeing with profitability.

Humanistic Leadership by HMN Dutch Chapter

February 2nd 2024

Webinar

In this one hour webinar, Matthijs and Danaë will introduce humanistic leadership as a human dignity based way of leading. In modernity, most of us take the dominant economistic perspective on leading and organizing for granted; people are selfish and rational, and will always try to maximize their own personal benefits. The humanistic perspective does not accept this view of human nature and introduces homo florens instead: a thriving human being, aiming to flourish within the planetary boundaries while respecting the human dignity of all stakeholders, including past, present and future generations.
