It was the fifth appointment of the Webinar Series Humanistic Management: In the Market, which Culture to act according to Ethics?.
Five centuries ago, Erasmus of Rotterdam, the prince of the humanists, described the characteristics that a Christian prince must have to guide citizenship. What does the thought of this great humanist say to today’s manager, who wants to become a leader, rather than administer resources and manage processes? And what does it mean to talk about ethical leadership?

It was the fourth appointment of the Webinar Series Humanistic Management: In the Market, which Culture to act according to Ethics?.
Each organization is based on a certain anthropological conception. Depending on the answer to the questions "Who is man?" and "What is its value?" a specific organizational model is structured. Closely connected with this is the definition of the Common Good, which must not be confused with the sum of private interests or with the collective advantage. The Common Good is the foundation for human achievement and the goal of society itself.
Host of the meeting was Martin Schlag, Director of the Markets, Culture and Ethics (MCE) Research Centre and professor at Ethics and Business Law Deaprtment at Saint Thomas University (Minnesota).
Host of the meeting Cristiano Busco, Professor of Accounting e Integrating Reporting at Department of Business and Management of Luiss Guido Carli.
The dialogue between philosophy and management, the guiding thread of this series of webinars, has turned to the theme of utopia. Utopia by definition is a non-place. The literati of all times, in times of social crisis, reflected on this concept, proposing what for them represented the ideal society. Simone Budini, member of Humanistic Management and professor at the Salesian Pontifical University, illustrated the difference between utopia and utopianism, where the former is an improvement tension towards what is desirable, while the latter is a scheme, often reductionist, fruit of the thought of the few and imposed on society. Consequently, utopia is not outside the freedom of individuals, and its starting point is the education of individuals.
From the enterprise point of view, Cristiano Busco has emphasized the importance to avoid the reductionism of the numbers and to search the sustainability in integrated way, not through an individualistic management of the indicators.
