Manifesto for Humane Leadership
Manifesto for Humane Leadership
Six Theses and 14 Principles for New Leadership in the Age of Digitalization
About the Book
This Manifesto for Humane Leadership started in 2018 during BMW Group IT’s agile transformation. The original six theses at the core were the first attempt to answer the question of how leadership needs to change to enable empowerment and self-organization as core elements of true agility.
In hindsight, this transformation journey was just a welcome opportunity to breathe new life into long-standing concepts of servant leadership. Over time, this book became the idealistic attempt to create organizations and working environments that are more “species-appropriate” for knowledge workers.
This Manifesto for Humane Leadership is based on Peter Drucker’s preliminary work on knowledge work and the leadership of knowledge workers, as well as on the positive image of human beings in Theory Y from Douglas McGregor’s much-neglected book “The Human Side of Enterprise.” Therefore, the title can and should be understood as an allusion to this human side of organizations and collaboration

Marcus Raitner creates an image of leadership culture that not only considers the life circumstances and the entire humanity of employees. It is also important to him that managers possess or acquire emotional intelligence so they do not lose sight of themselves. Effective leadership has just as much to do with self-care.
