Emergence of New Managerial Practices and Vulnerability
Could the notion of vulnerability, which comes from care ethics, find its place in the refounding of managerial thinking? From new forms of work organisation that value relationships between persons rather than individual performance through the integration of this notion, there might emerge a humanist management promoting confidence and solicitude. A responsible approach challenging a managemental vision of human relationships and considering each person’s singularity would result. The authority of the manager would thus find a new legitimacy through him or her showing more understanding and concern, enabling staff to progress.
