Conversations with CEOs is a compilation of interviews Dr. Adizes conducted with CEOs he has known over the years. These are professional executives with whom Dr. Adizes helped to restructure their companies, manage phenomenal growth sustainably, and in some cases avoid bankruptcy. Dr. Adizes' intention was for readers to learn something from these talks-about change, about leadership, and about the travails and rewards of being a manager.

The Adizes blog which is posted at least once a week on Dr. Adizes' website www.ichakadizes.com and sent by e-mail to thousands of subscribers began life in 2003 as a monthly column called "Insights." They were literally insights rather than the products of scientific research. In the words of Dr. Adizes: "I dared to say what I thought. In doing so I opened myself up to criticism. And that is what I got: Many people wrote to say they disagreed with one or more of my observations or conclusions. But they kept reading because what I wrote made them think. And that is exactly what I set out to achieve. In this book-the second of a series-all of the essays deal with managing organizations. The ideas often evolved out of something I saw heard or felt as I consulted to hundreds of companies, governments, and other organizations around the world. Then in light of the response from readers I often rethought my Insights, re-edited, rewrote or updated them. In their new book-length form I believe these Insights will continue to stir thought and debate.

Management & Leadership

Who is the ideal executive to run a business? A mythical hero who can do it all perfectly all the time, single-handedly resolving paradoxes and incompatible goals with supreme ease, may come to mind. Yet, practical experience reveals that the "perfect" executive is as mythical as the unicorn. The rapidly evolving challenges of today's business world require a renaissance in reality-based executive leadership able to adapt to change, manage conflict, and deal with systems going out of sync - and everything is a system. The metamorphosis of the "ideal executive" has led to the only workable solution: a team of leaders with a mixture of managerial styles that complement each other. However, while an integrated team approach is optimal, the diversity of styles, thought, and background causes conflict that can be destructive. Addressing this challenge head-on with proven strategies that have worked around the world with unprecedented results, the Adizes Methodology gives leaders the tools to make conflict constructive by creating and sustaining the right culture to support diversity and complementary managerial styles on the same team. Step into the remaking of executive leadership to be relevant in this day and age, leading with a new paradigm shift.

Managing Corporate Lifecycles: Predicting Future Problems Today

Just as every system has a lifecycle, every organization has its own lifecycle that needs to be managed; otherwise, without decisions customized to the specific location on the lifecycle, a company spins out of control, allows conflict to turn destructive, and declines precipitously. Being able to analyze each stage accurately and strategize appropriately is critical. This book provides a deep dive into every aspect of the cyclical continuum: how to accurately discern and analyze the stage that your organization is in, what to do to spur growth, and how to predict future problems and use continuous change to your advantage. Take charge of your destiny. As a leader, you must learn to distinguish normal problems – the transitions that an organization should go through to move to the next stage of the lifecycle – from abnormal problems that you can avoid. This book will sharpen your decision-making and equip you with the know-how to be an effective and efficient leader of change.
