Rudolf Steiner is known around the world as an author, speaker, and the
creator of Anthroposophy, yet few are aware of him as an inovater of new
ways of working together. As a result, questions of management and
leadership are especially challenging, even in institutions whose work
is based on Anthroposophy.
Here the model for forms of collaboration created by Steiner in 1923/24
can serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Using this social
concept as an orientation, the authors show how the social framework of
the anthroposophic medical movement has evolved and stood the test of
time since 1988. "Leadership style with heart" is needed to unite the
principles of individual responsibility, collegial leadership, and
democratic codetermination.
