Heart Economics
Bringing Men's hearts into management
This innovative 3-day workshop is aimed at male managers in business and government. It aims to provide male managers with a heart changing process which allows them to understand how their masculine identity impacts on their management style, performance, team relationships and outputs at work. The workshop has strong experiential focus and includes a wilderness component.
"A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerers." - Buddha
In today's corporate and institutional environment mangers are required to have good personal and relational skills to assist with integration, high performance and resource management of their diverse staff. In the South African context many male managers struggle with the emotional literacy / people skills necessary to do this.
In the wider society South African men are in a sustained crisis as they struggle to adapt from an autocratic and patriarchal culture to a democratic, equal and open society in which male roles have altered fundamentally. These wider crises of identity impact directly on the performance of men as managers in the family and workplace.

"Understanding differences between the experiences of being male and the experiences of being female should not be seen as a comparison between differences between men and women... Yet to understand why some activities and processes are valued over others we need to know something of the dominant forms of masculinity in play." Lowe, Mils & Mullen, "Gendering the silences: psychoanalysis, gender and organisation studies"
