Efter Adizes teori, skal lederen spille fire roller: producent, administrator, entrepreneur (dvs igangsætter) og integrator. - De 4 roller er uforenelige i ét menneske, og den effektive leder af A. kaldet "Lærebogslederen" eksisterer ikke. - Ledelse må udføres af et team, der supplerer hinanden. Der vises forskellige mis-management stile, resultatet af forskellige kombinationer af mangel på de fire egenskaber (den ensomme ulv, bureaukraten, brandstifteren osv.) Afsnittet "ud af faldgrupperne" er en jordbunden gennemgang af den realistiske leders muligheder for at arbejde med sig selv. Et afsluttende afsnit behandler A.s teorier anvendt som organisationsterapi og en gennemgang af hans managementmetode en metode, der vil blive uddybet i en kommende bog. Adizes eksempler er både fra produktionsvirksomheder, fra offentlige administrationsafdelinger og kulturelle foretagender (teatre) - det er nyt. - At gå ud fra, hvordan management virkelig sker, er også nyt. En velskrevet,velargumenteret og underholdende fremstilling. - Et frisk pust efter Drucker, Gorpe, Rhemnan, Argyris, Woodward m.fl
