About the Humanistic Management Network Dutch Chapter
The Dutch Chapter’s people bring great diversity of experience and a shared vision in the areas of sustainability, science, innovation and human development.
We work with industry, government, academia, and institutional sectors to develop and integrate humanistic principles into the daily practices of companies. Our aim is to incubate dignity in organisations and align wellbeing with profitability.

Humanistic Leadership by HMN Dutch Chapter
February 2nd 2024Webinar
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.
