Recenzii
Not only are great leaders first and foremost good human beings, Vlatka's excellent book Humane Capital explains loud and clear how this can be translated into high-performance organizations and above-average return. Possibly the best investment you could ever make.
Humane Capital presents a well-researched argument for the growing importance of humanizing business and Vlatka's narrative incorporates several compelling case studies that demonstrate that 'doing good' is actually 'good business'.
A powerful, and provocative, blend of case studies, research, and practical implications for making business more personal and the personal more humane.
The importance of human quality is critical to organizational success. Vlatka's Humane Capital will make a difference for business leaders and organizations.
Humane Capital is an outstanding read from a management scholar who has worked extensively with leaders and businesses. It highlights the thoughts and reflections of 58 business leaders in a lively and entertaining way -many nuggets of wisdom here!
In Humane Capital, Vlatka gives us a provocative series of insights from the narratives of leaders within different types of businesses. Building on her transformative work in The Management Shift, this is a rich and compelling call to action for anyone looking for success in management and fulfilment as a human being.
Vlatka Hlupic's new book is full of stimulating insights and observations. The book will be interesting for all who want to be a successful manager in today's rapidly changing world.
Vlatka's contribution pushes an open door in the direction of how the Fourth Industrial Revolution envisions the role of organizations in the 21st century: Maximizing Human Well-Being. The underlying understanding that building organizations around human centered systems is of cardinal importance, is what makes of this book a wonderful journey, entrenched in some of the most emerging organizational theories as well as applications on the nature of firms today. A must read.
How do you humanize an organization where employees are passionate to work? How do you build a high-performance culture that combines profits and principles? Using dozens of engaging case studies, Vlatka addresses these critical questions in this excellent book.
This is a timely book - engagement levels remain stubbornly low - a crushing waste of human potential. This passionate book seeks to address the problem and to create work places which are life-affirming. The argument is enriched with lively case studies and interview material. It deserves to be widely read.
Rich with case studies and stories, Vlatka deftly details the critical importance of a humane and purpose-driven workplace.
With rapidly mounting challenges in the social, economic and environmental sectors, Vlatka Hlupic offers with Humane Capital a meaningful insight into the world of Leadership in business and non-profit organizations. Vlatka gives guidance with inspiring examples on how and why we need to transform and shift our traditional business by embracing a holistic perspective.
Vlatka has studied an incredible list of 'humane' companies and distilled the practices that more fully engage employees. These are incredible cases and even better insights that can be adapted to any organization. This book reinforces the importance of taking care of people who will take care of customers and others. Very well done!
Humane Capital is a really thought-provoking analysis of the management challenges facing companies, large and small, in today's fast-moving economy. Most managers recognise the tensions between long- and short-term thinking, and between people and profits. Vlatka Hlupic provides some valuable advice for how to resolve these tensions, to make companies more sustainable and more humane.
In an era when corporations increasingly treat employees as just another means to their financial ends, and work becomes both more contingent, precarious and controlled, here is a bracing and timely antidote. Treating people well at work is the right thing to do, says Hlupic, with plentiful case studies in support, and there is no downside. No excuses: just do it.
Vlatka's book is a timely reminder of how, more so than ever, it is imperative that businesses wake up to their broader societal responsibilities and recognise that it is possible to do well by doing good. Social good and impact should not be seen as a "nice to have" or trade-off; it is something that companies at all stages can embrace as highlighted by the case studies in the book, shining a light on the best practices within the non-profit, SME and corporate world.
This book outlines ideas and insights from 58 eminent leaders globally, imploring leaders to adopt humane approach to build their organisations. It enlightens the expectations and aspirations of millennials who constitute predominant workforce globally and encourages gender-balanced organizations to achieve excellence and effectiveness. I strongly recommend reading it
Vlatka Hlupic provides inspiration and direction for those seeking to realize the full potential inside their companies and in society at large. With examples from a wide range of leaders, she shows that high performance begins with a focus on people.
