查尔斯·汉迪（Charles Handy） 欧洲最伟大的管理思想大师。1932年出生于爱尔兰，从牛津大学毕业后，进入东南亚和伦敦的壳牌公司工作，并担任高级管理人员。后在麻省理工学院的斯隆管理学院追随本尼斯、阿吉里斯等大师进行组织研究。1967年他创办了英国首家管理研究生院——伦敦商学院，并成为该学院的全职教授。 他是继彼得·德鲁克之后在世界上拥有读者最多的管理学权威，获得好评无数，其中包括“天才的思想者”“管理界的预言家”“新秩序的预言家”“社会哲学家”和“艺术家类型的管理大师”等诸多美誉。 查尔斯·汉迪管理思想的一大特色，就是他浓厚的人文情怀和哲学气质。英国《金融时报》称他是欧洲屈指可数的“管理哲学家”。如果说德鲁克是管理学之父，那么查尔斯·汉迪就是当之无愧的“管理哲学之父”。
