About the book

The Human Element

Thomas Cleary explores the intricate relationship between technology and human resources, arguing that the management of human beings should be viewed as a unique form of technology. Drawing from ancient Eastern philosophical traditions, Cleary demonstrates how these teachings can cultivate insight and creativity to address the complexities of contemporary life. His work stands out by seamlessly integrating Confucian, Taoist, and Zen wisdom with modern organizational theory. He challenges the common misconception that humans and technology are fundamentally at odds, asserting that this belief is a misguided reflection of political and social dynamics rather than an inherent truth. Through his exploration of historical texts like the I Ching and Sun-tzu’s The Art of War, Cleary offers a fresh perspective on leadership and personal development.

As society becomes increasingly reliant on technology, Cleary argues that the development of human resources—creativity, insight, and adaptability—becomes paramount. The Human Element serves as a call to recognize and nurture the human element in the face of technological dominance, providing readers with practical strategies to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.
