Гуру менеджмента Ицхак Адизес считает, что один человек не способен выполнять все четыре роли, необходимые для эффективного руководства организацией: быть и производителем результатов, и администратором, и предпринимателем, и интегратором. Место несуществующего «идеального руководителя» должна занять взаимодополняющая команда менеджеров, каждый член которой умеет выполнять одну из ролей в совершенстве, а остальными владеет на приемлемом уровне. При этом важно, чтобы в команде не было руководителей, которые концентрируются только на одной роли, полностью забывая про остальные. Такие перекосы делают менеджмент неэффективным и ставят под угрозу судn

Dr. Adizes lives in Santa Barbara, California, with his family. In his leisure time he enjoys folk dancing, playing the accordion, and practicing meditation.
Great theory, one of the best personality/behavior models, though so scientific as other. But unless you are interested in detailed description of each of personality types according to Adizes methodology, better choose his another book - summary of this will be repeated there (that is what I've found out by bringing back this book and picking up another in a library). And also note - there almost nothing from "... and what to do about it" part, so don't be deceived by title. On the good side, book is easy to read and understand.
Отличная книга, дает понимание о четырех навыках менеджмента кода PAEI и важности развиваться во всех из них, показывает на примерах последствия чрезмерной деформации в какой-то один из них, а так же как выбирать правильный подход для взаимодействия с другими менеджерами!)
Completely useless if you’ve read the first book of the series. 70% of content including examples and quotes is inherited from the first part. A waste of time.
Ideālā vadītāja meklējumos. Vienkārši pastāstīta eleganta ideja. Praktiski pielietojama. Bet kā ar visām elegantām idejām - lai iedzīvinātu, nedaudz iztēles vajadzēs gan.
Great book, with an original insight regarding the different styles that can be found at any organization. It clearly emphasize that a perfect manager does not exist, and that by having the right style people well identified onthe right positions can make an important difference on every company's results.
Классика. Иногда не очень приятная когда узнаешь себя, но всегда очень чёткая, когда надо разобраться в своих сильных и слабых сторонах, а также привлечь к сотрудничеству подходящих тебе партнёров.
