Adizes management styles
Contents |
Abstract
Adizes believes that the perfect team includes all four roles in what he calls a "PAEI profile". There must be balance in a team, which is why all four roles must be represented by one or more people[2]. A person may have multiple roles in him, but may not hold all four leadership roles at one and the same time. Each profile has its own strength which is unique to this particular type of profile. Typically, the profiles will be ech others opposites which can cause difficulties both in the team. Adizes describes that the perfect team is not entirely without problems, but if all four roles are present, the perfect balance is achieved[3]. Adizes believes that it requires a certain understanding of the roles you don't possess yourself to be able to work with leaders with other strengths and that's the only way a good management team is formed.[1]

Ichak Kalderon Adizes is a North Macedonian business consultant, professor and known as one of the world's leading experts in management and business development. He was born in Macedonia and later moved to Israel, where he grew up[1]. Ichak Adizes works with management, mismanagement, leaders and teams. In his theory, he works with four management roles / styles, which are very different from each other, but which are all necessary in a fundamental management team.
