Manifesto for Humane Leadership

Six Theses and 14 Principles for New Leadership in the Age of Digitalization

In a world in which it is “normal that many things have become different and are becoming more different faster and faster,” as the business educator and time researcher Karlheinz A. Geißler aptly put it, the role of leadership is, at the very least, up for discussion. Leadership is not about you and your ego but making others successful. Or, in the words of Götz W. Werner, leadership is only legitimate in enabling self-leadership. Leadership is an attitude, not a position. This book describes this attitude and the principles of this new, agile, digital, and, above all, humane leadership.

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
