According to Dr. Adizes, the management of any organization must perform four functions: producing results, administration, entrepreneurship, and integration. To implement them simultaneously, a leader must have numerous, sometimes mutually exclusive, qualities. Adizes concludes: that management is too complex a process for one person to handle. The ideal manager simply does not exist in nature.
How to be? For a company to be effective in the short and long term, it must be led by a management team consisting of people with complementary management styles. On what basis do you select employees for such a team? How can they properly build communication so that even inevitable conflicts can be used to make quality decisions?
Management guru Itzhak Kalderon Adizes answers these and many other questions.
The book is addressed to managers, employees of recruitment agencies, and anyone interested in organizational management issues.
