Abstract: Abstract We develop a form for the management of the performative Enterprise. An Enterprise is performative when it is fat-adapted. Although management was always an issue within organisation theory, leadership needs individual attention, especially in the post-modern era. Post-modernity addresses an entirely new paradigm on how to produce wealth. In this era, resources are not the traditional ones, i.e. labour, machines, and materials. The new medium in wealth production is management that forms marketing and quality intelligence. We call this type of management performative. Management affects a given organisation, how that organisation performs, and how to make it work differently. Therefore, the management’s will to act and the will know is the given, the form of the organisation is a derivative. That will to act and will to know trigger events, called management events. Management events form the performative Enterprise. There are two principal forms: the in-form and the out-form. The in-form is the form that includes all events produced under a System of Morals or ethics of the Enterprise, while the out-form is its environment. Management functions as an immune system for the body of the Enterprise. Moreover, we introduce the concept of complementarity as the new lean paradigm. In this paradigm, to perform means to complement activities transcending lean.
