I. Seeing Locating Subsidiarity at Work
• Good Goods: making goods
which are truly good and
providing services which truly
serve;
• Good Work: organizing
work so that coworkers
develop their gifts and
talents; and
• Good Wealth: creating
sustainable wealth and
distributing it justly.

• A Pope: “For dead matter leaves the factory ennobled
and transformed, while men are corrupted and
degraded” (Pius XI, 1931).
• An Engineer: “If engineers could think of people as if
they were robots, they would give them more human
work to do” (Howard H. Rosenbrock, 1981).
• A CEO: “We must as leaders embrace the principle of
subsidiarity. It is wrong to steal a person’s right or
ability to make a decision.” (Bill Pollard,
ServiceMaster, 1996).

II. Judging Deeper Roots: Logic of Gift
II
• “Subsidiarity respects personal
dignity by recognizing in the
person a subject who is always
capable of giving something to
others” (Benedict).
• Subsidiarity is not simply a
right to autonomy, but rather a
gift to be shared for others.

Logic of Justice
Justice: If economic systems [such
as a workplace] lessen people’s
sense of responsibility or rob them
“of opportunity for exercising
personal initiative, then such a
system . . . is altogether unjust—no
matter how much wealth it produces,
or how justly and equitably such
wealth is distributed” (John XXIII,
1961).

III. Acting Building Subsidiarity in the Culture of the Business
•Orienting
•Institutionalizing
![Page 9: Respect in Action - Minnesota in Action Building Subsidiarity in the ... “We must as leaders embrace the principle of subsidiarity. ... Slide 1 Author: xtra-gdwilmer ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030504/5ab1a3c47f8b9a00728c92f6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Orienting:
Three Leadership Responsibilities
• Person Centered Job Design: Give as
much individual responsibility as
possible and as much administrative
support as necessary.
• Developing People: Those closest to the
work often know the most about the
work, especially when educated and
equipped.
• Building Community: To take upon
oneself, in full trust, the risks of the
lower level’s decisions.

Final Thought Logic of Gift and Subsidiarity Leadership
“He [Peter Maurin] did not begin by tearing down, or by painting so intense a picture of misery and injustice that you burned to change the world. Instead he aroused in you a sense of your own capacities for work, for accomplishment. He made you feel that you and all (people) had great and generous hearts with which to love God. If you once recognized this fact in yourself you would expect and find it in others”
Dorothy Day

linked to . . . Solidarity” (Benedict)

Conclusion: Tensions and Opportunities
in Shaping a Culture of Subsidiarity
• Trust and Accountability: Give as
much individual responsibility as
possible and as much administrative
support as necessary.
• Standardization and Innovation:
Make as many standards as necessary
but ensure as much initiative and
innovation as possible.
• Decentralization and Centralization:
Move decision-making to the lowest
level possible and to the highest level
necessary.
