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.
人文管理和正念练习可以相互促进，以培育一个包容的社会。管理者可以超越对正念练习的有限工具性理解，转向一种生成性正念，这种正念包含对人类思维丰富本质的认识、对文化习俗的意识以及根深蒂固的道德基础，从而创造出尊重每个人内在神圣性的组织文化。一组对知名的正念与领导力顾问和研究人员的访谈表明在这一观点上存在共识，一所美国大型大学的管理人员制定反种族主义议程的经历也是如此。本文基于作者的个人经历和学术研究，并提出了人文管理教育可以通过将生成性正念纳入高管发展以及本科项目，从而为创建包容性工作场所做出贡献的方法。
