Understanding leadership as an art is the focus of the contributions in the anthology edited by Götz W. Werner and Peter Dellbrügger. A key emphasis is placed on the theme of freedom: Stefan Brotbeck develops a phenomenology of unfreedom by exposing social mechanisms that make life difficult for us and others. Additionally, topics include the "liberation" of leadership (Rehn), hierarchy (Hardorp), trust (Lavecchia), education (Dietz), and meaning-making (Werner).
