Drawing on over two decades of international executive experience and teaching across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, Dr. Minja Bolesnikov introduces a pioneering practice-oriented framework for navigating complexity, accelerating innovation, and building resilient organisations.
To succeed in Industry 5.0, organisations must embrace a holistic, purpose-driven model. Holistic Management redefines 21st-century leadership by uniting disciplines often treated in isolation - strategy, corporate culture, digital transformation, personal effectiveness, and sustainability - into a cohesive, actionable model". Through global case studies (Amazon, IKEA, Tesla, Cleveland Clinic, DBS Bank, and more), step-by-step methodologies, and practical tools, this book equips leaders to act with clarity in uncertain times and create lasting impact.
For executives, entrepreneurs, consultants, or educators, it provides the means to build organisations that are not only efficient, but also ethical, future-ready, and human-centred.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Holistic Management represents a timely and compelling contribution to the evolving field of management studies. This book offers a forward-looking framework that integrates sustainability, technological fluency, systems thinking, and strategic leadership-precisely the skillset demanded by today's increasingly complex and interdependent business environments.
The author critically examines the inadequacies of conventional management paradigms and introduces a holistic methodology that reflects the realities of Industry 5.0. Through actionable tools, original models, and richly contextualized examples, this book empowers decision-makers to transcend short-term metrics and lead with resilience, responsibility, and foresight.
What distinguishes this volume is its direct applicability to both executive practice and management education. By combining theoretical clarity with implementation-ready guidance, the book serves not only as a scholarly contribution but also as a highly adaptable teaching resource. The integration of holistic management principles into undergraduate and executive curricula marks it as a pioneering textbook in the discipline.
The author draws upon a rare blend of corporate leadership experience and academic rigor, creating a versatile framework applicable across sectors and organizational contexts. His emphasis on aligning profitability with ethical governance, stakeholder engagement, and technological augmentation positions this book as an essential reference for future-ready leadership.
In sum, Holistic Management introduces a new logic of organizing-one that is systemic, ethical, and adaptive. It is a must-read for practitioners, educators, and students committed to shaping a more sustainable, intelligent, and humane approach to management."
