Adizes: Corporate Lifecycles (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1988)

Challenges:

  • Founder’s Trap – one person show
  • Unfocused – spread too thin
  • Strategic misalignment – mission, structure, systems, processes and rewards are usually not mutually supportive

Prescription:

  • Develop willingness and competence of subordinates so they can be delegated to
  • Direction setting activities for mission, strategies and objectives (more convergence)
  • Systematically uncover misalignment issues and address
  • Measure and report key metrics
