Management Styles — Effective and Ineffective
-
AuthorАдизес Ицхак
Management guru Ichak Adizes believes that one person cannot fulfill all four roles necessary for effective organizational leadership: being a results producer, an administrator, an entrepreneur, and an integrator. The place of the non-existent "ideal leader" must be occupied by a complementary team of managers, each member excelling in one of the roles and competent in the others at an acceptable level. It is also important that the team does not include managers who focus solely on one role, completely neglecting the others. Such imbalances make management ineffective and threaten the organization's fate. This book will teach you how to evaluate and improve your management style, the management styles of your colleagues and subordinates, and how to form a complementary team of leaders. It is aimed at management specialists and managers of any companies and organizations and will also interest a broad audience.
