FM 21 | Management through meaning orientation | 3rd Edition

"Humans are beings in search of meaning" (Viktor E. Frankl). Management should take into account people's striving for meaning, because: "What we want, what we need, is not just money from which we can live, but primarily something for which we can live, which gives meaning to our lives! " (Victor E. Frankl). Although the focus of professional activity is usually on earning an income, management and leadership also have to take other human concerns into account. For this reason, meaning-oriented leadership focuses on people and their needs. "Meaning-oriented leadership is an approach to the leadership of people and organizations. With this approach, the focus of the leadership philosophy is on both the "meaning" and the "striving for meaning of people". The striving for meaning drives people and ensures the appropriate self-motivation.
