Adize’s PAEI Leadership/Management Roles

This activity builds on a previous activity and highlights that no individual can meet all the demands of their organisation‘s internal and external environment. According to Adize’s (1979), the four key elements that make up a successful leadership team can be translated into four roles – the producer, the administrator, the entrepreneur and the integrator. These correspond to the energies we explored in Activity 1.5 but you do not have to have done the Activity to run this one. There is no one-for-one role leader in this - each individual brings a mix of styles and characteristics. The success of an organisation is dependent on the extent to which these roles are fulfilled.
