Phenomenology of the Management as the Eco-Empathic Leadership

Abstract

The negative tendencies in contemporary society and organisations occur as a result of technocratic culture (technopoly). To improve this situation, it is necessary to change the technocratic paradigm to an eco-empathic one. The paper presents phenomenology of management as the eco-empathic leadership. In this conception two crucial factors are combined – empathy and ecology. In practice of management the idea of the corporate sustainability is applied. It embraces both “hard” action – technical, as well as “soft” one – social. It gives a concrete form to “the triple bottom line” of management, which is seeking for such solutions to economic problems which are simultaneously: economically valuable, ecologically friendly and socially responsible.
