Humanistic management is the paradigm of management in which human beings are not considered resources but and the end in themselves. Humanistic management is nature centric in which optimization of the human needs and drives rather than maximization of the utility is considered to be the basis of management practices and scholarship. In this talk I will share how the Indian worldview and its implication fall parallel to the contemporary ideas of humanistic management. Based on the groundwork of our research team I will share how Indian perspectives and practices are helping practicing managers to apply practical wisdom in the day to day work and how responsible leadership is practiced by many Indian managers in complex business situations.
