      ab: The main focus of this text is a review of Maik Arnold’s book *Social Work Leadership and Management: Current Approaches and Concepts for Social and Human Service Organizations*, which presents a comprehensive framework integrating classical and contemporary leadership theories relevant to social work. The book emphasizes adaptive leadership to address complex social issues such as inequality and climate change, combining empirical research with practical applications to enhance leadership skills among social workers and the role of educational institutions in leadership development. Key leadership theories discussed include Transformational, Transactional, Adaptive, and Agile Leadership, with suggestions to incorporate additional perspectives like Servant, Distributed, and Authentic Leadership to enrich ethical and collaborative dimensions. While praised for its multidisciplinary approach and practical relevance, the book is noted to lack deeper case studies and discussion on digital leadership, which could improve its applicability in modern social service organizations.
