LEADAGING TOMORROW'S ORGANISATION From our observation of the current ORGANISATIONAL structures around the world, one has found that there is a traditional DUALISATION of the headship of corporations and institution into the conventional positions of the PRESIDENT / CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (the CEO), on one hand , and that of the CHAIRMAN on the other. Now, we would like to suggest here, in line with the principles and practices of LEADAGEMENT, that the COMBINATION of the Corporate Roles of the CHAIRMAN and the PRESIDENT / CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (the CEO), or the MANAGING DIRECTOR (MD), could be given to the newly conceived position of the LEADAGER. We are convinced that both the MANAGER and his/her MANAGERIAL role as well as the CHAIRMAN and his/her LEADERSHIP role will be synthesised into the LEADAGEMENT role for tomorrow's organisations Below is an OUTLINE of LEADAGEMENT, the future EXECUTIVE Development and Deployment system. LEADAGEMENT: BEYOND MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP BACKGROUND: The 4 Operational and Developmental STAGES of Global Executive Functions of GOVERNANCE could be viewed as follows: STAGE 1: ADMINISTRATION STAGE 2: MANAGEMENT STAGE 3: LEADERSHIP STAGE 4: LEADAGEMENT LEADAGEMENT is the new super model of ADMINISTRATION and EXECITIVE functions beyond the current systems of MANAGEMENT and LEADERSHIP. LEADAGEMENT involves an EXECUTIVE who is LEADAGING an organisation as a LEADAGER, not just as a MANAGER or simply a LEADER, to LEADAGE for the highest level of personal performance and organisational productivity. LEADAGEMENT: THE DEFINITIONS (1)LEADAGEMENT Leadagement is the organic integration of management and leadership principles and practices in a synergetic, systematic and strategic way for the most effective and efficient executive and administrative productivity. Leadagement is the new super model of ADMINISTRATION and EXECITIVE functions beyond the current systems of MANAGEMENT and LEADERSHIP. Leadagement involves an EXECUTIVE who is LEADAGING an organisation as a LEADAGER, not just as a MANAGER or simply a LEADER, to LEADAGE for the highest level of personal performance and organisational productivity. Leadagement is really the essence of global executiveness. Leadagement as a WORD is derived from the combination of LEADership and manAGEMENT . (2) LEADAGE Leadage is how to both lead to manage and to manage to lead for maximum productivity and quality in the executive and administrative function. Leadage as a WORD is derived from the combination of LEAD and manAGE (3) LEADAGING Leadaging is the dynamic processs of managing leadership and leading management roles and functions for the most productive and qualitative performance of global executiveness. Leadaging as a WORD is derived from the combination of LEADing and manAGING (4) LEADAGER A Leadager is an efficient manager-leader who is at the same time an effective leader-manager, performing their leadaging role beyond just managing or leading an organisation or nation successfully. Leadager as a WORD is derived from the combination of LEADer and manAGER WHY LEADAGEMENT There is a GLOBAL need for the philosophical and operational SYNTHESIS of the basic Principles / Practices / Prospects / Processes of MANAGEMENT and LEADERSHIP, thereby taking CORPORATE GOVERNANCE to the required next level of development ! There is a general acknowledgement of the NEED to make great MANAGERS function better as good LEADERS too. And it is vice versa for great LEADERS as well to function as good MANAGERS. But what about what I would like to refer to as "EXECUTIVE DISSONANCE", whereby a manager would only want to perform their executive role simply and solely within MANAGERIALISM, and the organisational leader wanting to perform strictly within LEADERSHIPISM, and whereby both executive officers finding it very difficult to switch between the two administrative and governance paradigms, even when and if they are consciously trying to be flexible in the executive performances to reflect both their MANAGERSHIP as well as LEADERSHIP roles and goals . The observable EFFECT of this "Executive Dissonance" is the imbalance in the expected OUTCOMES of Management and Leadership PERFORMANCE in terms of compromising of EFFICIENCY for EFFECTIVENESS and vice versa. We would like to hypothesise that LEADAGEMENT Practice will help organisations and their executives achieve a better balancing of ADMINISTRATIVE and GOVERNANCE outcomes. There is MANAGEMENT in LEADERSHIP, as there is LEADERSHIP in MANAGEMENT, while both are really embedded in LEADAGEMENT. It makes our task of EXECUTIVE development and deployment much easier if and when we apply the super-model of LEADAGEMENT without needing to continuously switch from neither MANAGEMENT to LEADERSHIP, nor from LEADERSHIP to MANAGEMENT. LEADAGEMENT DEVELOPMENTWe anticipate that sooner or later, people and organisations would want to be in the league of the most productive executives, globally, whereby every good and great MANAGERS and LEADERS everywhere will require to ADVANCE themselves and their organisations further and higher with LEADAGEMENT from now on as the pioneer new world LEADAGERS ! We earnestly seek contributions from all cadres of EXECUTIVES and the general public, GLOBALLY, on our ongoing efforts at developing and propagating the new subject of LEADAGEMENT. Out task now is how to make the new subject of LEADAGEMENT live up to its billing.
