Social leadership, power splitting, and inclusive management of the organization

Abstract

The article proposes a new structure of organization management that combines the principles of hierarchical management and social leadership. The practicality of splitting the power of the organization head in four directions that reflect the organization’s system structure is shown. A system of social leadership should support the management of such a structure to develop and effectively use the hidden strengths of the organization: intellectual, mental, cultural, and influence (inspiration). This system prevents stratification and fragmentation of its internal space. It provides movement towards inclusive management of the organization, preserving its integrity and increasing the sustainability of its functioning. The concept of inclusive management proposed in the article reflects the progress in developing the theory of the firm, Adizes methodology, and the system economic theory. The concept can be applied both with organizations and their divisions and systems of meso- and macroeconomic levels.
