The Manifesto

---

Subversive management is about human-centred ways of managing people. It’s about actively engaging in it and empowering others to do the same.

Subversive management prioritises:
Empathy and understanding over rigid adherence to rules
Transparent and regular communication over secrecy and siloing
Flexibility and adaptability over strict planning and forecasting
Employee empowerment and autonomy over top-down directives and control
Constructive feedback and growth over criticism without support
Innovative problem-solving over tradition or “best practices”
A culture of trust and safety over internal competition
The harmony of a person’s whole life over all-consuming work demands
While we acknowledge the necessity of organisational goals and structures on the right, we believe the essence of effective management lies in valuing the elements on the left more.

This manifesto reflects a shift towards a more inclusive, employee-centered approach to management, where the traditional hierarchies and norms are questioned in favour of creating a more adaptable, transparent, and nurturing work environment.
