EOS Verlag, St. Ottilie, 2007, 145 pages, € 14,80, ISBN 978-3-8306-7291-3
In view of numerous corruption managers who are the media in our time permanent flood in our everyday life and their greed seems to be limitless wie ihre Spitzenfunktion, ist jedes Buch emphatisch zu begrüßen, das Unternehmensführung auf eine ethische, auf eine humane Basis zu gründen versucht und hierfür ein sinn- und wert(e)orientiertes Menschenbild zugrunde legt.
Dies gilt uneingeschränkt auch für das Buch von Andreas Wingartz, das im ersten Teil (S. 23-88) gekonnt den Menschen als sinn-suchendes und ent-scheidendes, als freies und verantwortliches Wesen zeichnet, die Entscheidungsprozesse der Unternehmensführer als Wertediskussionen kennzeichnet und die oftmals ego-manen Selbstverwirklichungs-Tendenzen zurückbindet auf Sinn- und Werteverwirklichung, So what does self-fulfillment and success as a result of striving for meaning and values.
a humane corporate culture may be transformed into a culture of communication, and that is the result of the formation of a human personality, an aspect that Wingartz not misses, but not sufficiently explicit. He tried, however eloquent, bringing not only the subject area of humanity and economy together (economy despite humanity, rather, by economic Humanity, p. 9), but also the two most important elements of life and to link top able to identify explicitly, that value orientation and Sinnzentrierung.
who in any case not as the person responsible is prepared to do something for his own personality, is simply not qualified, he may no matter how many diplomas or other certificate possess. It is an absolute must for every leader to consider what impact they exercise and what personality is to change it in the sense of humanity and trust.
Ethical, and thus on the line to the humanum, is a corporate culture, if it has the development of a value consciousness in the human personality to the content. That is to say: This is based on a constructive formation of conscience acquired and developed level of morality is a prerequisite for the respect and dignity in communication - it allows for freedom as well as for the demands of freedom: Run (also) by Valuing a thought, which pervades virulent throughout the book and not only in subject areas such as real leadership can succeed? (P. 92-96), the focus is on people (p. 96-99) and on motivation (pp. 108-115) hinted. There is indeed no doubt that important aspects of an entity only to people (are) working for it, and the spirit in which they do so (H. Nordhoff) or, with RK Sprenger: The way how people treat each other, becomes a critical success factor.
Wingartz course records in both parts of his work (in the second part is proving it to be a real expert on the business scene Vision, Mission, Strategy, p. 130 - 133, Why values are important, p. 133-145) an ideal type of man, but that's a good thing, because even Goethe considered the Idealtypik be as correct as necessary if we in the root directory writes: If we accept people as they are, then we make them worse than they are, if we take but the way it should be, then we make it to that which they can be.
An idealized image of man is always needed when we want the people to a higher elevation as (mental) level of his being human, beyond the total of his arrest in Psychophysikum drive structure, and this also applies in respect of a moral, ie human requirement profile of those in charge, so managers or business leaders, as the implementation of appropriate social, ethical and interactive-communicative competence have shown.
Run is ultimately not only to adjust to the whole person, the whole range of needs and expectations of the employee to be considered as well as knowing what values are important to him and what it makes sense, but it must also to take into consideration that leadership, which wants to legitimize itself somehow, in the first place must demonstrate that it is developing the personality of the leader and that of the guided rather than destroy , rt.
can only then apply in full: Run as reliant people management must be anchored in a mature personality, which means that the management capability should be included in a proposal of continuous personal development.
The author knows very well that not everyone who stands in the front (st) s team of a company from the outset and for that reason even human mature (enough) is to be a leader. Other words: people who are on their socio-hierarchical classification executives need even more highly of the leadership, in other words: who wants to lead people, may have learned to lead themselves, as has already been formulated Peter F. printers: Few managers realize that they can ultimately only one person and need.
This person they are self-personality is not just pure givenness, it is rather a task! Only when you seriously consider this, can you guide from the purely sub-human to pull the bottom. The concern Wingartz this be accomplished with human (s) point of a modern management is more than deserving of thanks.
This book, on several pages still further reading and recommended in its reasoning on competent, but never intrusive way of ingratiating of logotherapy of the doctor-philosopher Viktor E. Frank oriented (Man is a being in search of meaning), is highly recommended and belongs in the hands of everyone, the economy and humanity, meaning and value, leadership and morality is privileged to bring together
