Moving from Extraction to Reciprocity in Work Relationships with Jeanne Bell, Director of Practice Advancement for Non Profit Quarterly.
Join us Feb 22nd Noon Eastern for this Humanistic Management Professionals Lunch and Learn
“If we can shift from thinking of our organizational relationships as “human resources” to be managed—their capital to be extracted over the life of the relationship—and shift to a frame of deep reciprocity, we will find as leaders that it is indeed those relationships above all else that allow our organizations to accomplish the most extraordinary things.”
Humanistic managers want our organizations to be more humane, more personally sustainable, and more conscious of the full humanity of the people with whom we work. These aspirations are shared with people working in the non-profit sector who face many of the same staffing challenges as for profit organizations.
“Our aspirations should inform how we think about developing the social, intellectual, and cultural capital in our organizations. Rather than conceiving of these forms of capital as something our organizations extract, we should think of them as precious resources to be shared and amplified across all of the organization’s relationships. We can think of this as shifting from an extraction to a reciprocity frame.”
