In every team, every group, every society, the question of who, for what and how responsibility is borne, is always asked. True social responsibility only works successfully and smoothly when each individual takes responsibility for their neighbors, colleagues and peer partners. It is precisely this responsibility of the individual that determines the effectiveness and efficiency of teams and groups, and thus of entire companies. The lack of resilience and crises of companies are based on the fact that dealing with responsibility has been forgotten in many parts of society. Such responsibility is the key factor for smooth processes, employee satisfaction, lower turnover, greater flexibility and greater commitment to the company. The handling of responsibility can be learned and trained.
