backgrounds

The meaning-oriented management philosophy goes back to antiquity where z. B. Plato also occupied himself with the question of leadership and saw the correct orientation for leading ( Greek  ἄγειν ágein lead) on the logos , on the SENSE .

In the 1970s and 1980s , the sociologist , logotherapist and leadership researcher Walter Böckmann developed meaning-oriented leadership as an independent leadership approach based on a criticism of fear-oriented leadership . Boeckmann is based on the sense teaching and dimensionalontologisch justified holistic human image of Viktor E. Frankl , expands this to evolutionary and socio-systemic perspectives and founded his sense-oriented management science especially motivation psychologically , performance psychology , management psychology and labor sociology .

Anna Maria Pircher-Friedrich has investigated the meaning-oriented management approach especially for service companies and developed a holistic management concept.

In 2008 Andreas Mascha founded the Institute for Meaningful Leadership . In cooperation with the South German Institute for Logotherapy and Existential Analysis , the implications of this leadership style in the context of the knowledge and information economy of the 21st century are to be researched.
