Leadagement

"The basic principles of MANAGEMENT and those of LEADERSHIP practices are easily reducible to CONCEPTS that can become synthesised in the wholistic system of LEADAGEMENT, which hopefully indue course give us LEADAGERS: the dynamic Leader-Managers or Manager-Leaders of tomorrow," says BISIKAY director of the Global LEADAGEMENT Institute in London. (The capitals are all his, not mine)

Bisikay's comment is one of many, many, many comments on management guru Gary Hamel's recent blog entitled "What is management's moonshot?" by which he means "How would you reinvent management?"

Hamel says: "When you think about the way your company is organized and run, when you think about management as usual, what makes you indignant—what do you think is just plain wrong? When you focus on the future, what are the over-the-horizon challenges that are going to stretch your company’s antiquated, industrial-age management practices to the breaking point? When you look into the faces of your colleagues, all those folks who are working 10-hour days to feed their kids and pay their mortgages, do you think they deserve better? Do you want to improve their lot somehow? When you listen to the buzzwords and platitudes that get bandied about in management meetings, do you sense an appalling gap between rhetoric and reality? Are there areas where management practice is still lagging badly behind management rhetoric?"

To which the answer may well be leadagement - although somehow I doubt it.

Now Gary really does have more than enough comments on his blog, so if you can solve this or any other world problems please do press the comment button below. PS: If you'd like to hear what Gary Hamel sounds like, listen to his podcast on how Web 2.0 is changing management. He has quite a delivery style!
