“…Both the action research study on this project and the dissertation addressing it (Wolberger 2018) were grounded in a process view of change, as developed by Chia (2014). Without prompting, as described at length in that article, participants became more aware not just of themselves but of the beauty and vitality of the natural environment around them and most important, gained a renewed sense of the purpose of their work, combined with a renewed appreciation of the people with whom they interacted daily, both at home and at work (Goldman Schuyler et al 2018).

Humanistic management and mindfulness practices can potentiate one another to foster an inclusive society. By moving beyond a limited instrumental understanding of mindfulness practice to a generative mindfulness that incorporates a recognition of the rich nature of the human mind, awareness of cultural practices, and deeply rooted ethical foundations, managers can create organizational cultures that honor the sacred in every human being. A set of interviews with noted consultants and researchers on mindfulness and leadership suggests convergence on this perspective, as does the experience of a university administrator in developing an anti-racist agenda for a large U.S. university. This article is based on both the personal experience and scholarly research of its authors and suggests ways that humanistic management education can contribute to creating inclusive workplaces through incorporating generative mindfulness in executive development as well as undergraduate programs.
