All employees in an organization are potential leaders, according to the authors. The task of good leadership is therefore that employees recognize problems and challenges themselves and take responsibility for them. But how can familiar hierarchies be changed and responsibility distributed among more employees? So how can one manage the social? The book provides information from the history of social diaconal action - the starting point is the following of Jesus - as well as theories on the management of the social. This is followed by inspirations on how, on the one hand, the current state of the respective organization can be perceived and, on the other hand, implementation and restructuring in one's own practice is actually possible.
