Leadership is a multifaceted term often used as the ultimate sanctuary. If all others or all other things fail, then, there will be the call for leadership as the last means to fix everything. However, leadership is no anchor, no fixed star and certainly no stopgap solution. Leadership is the continuous attempt to keep an organisation capable of acting by juggling with the help of concepts and actions under contradicting circumstances. Our model is a guideline for this attempt. It combines leadership-relevant elements from the New St. Gallen Management Model and the EFQM Model for Excellence as well as from the new identity theories. The results are, firstly, an integrated starting point for leadership concerning the concept and action related tasks of management, leadership and excellence (malex), and secondly, the opportunity of a first self-assessment of the own way of leadership acting, and thirdly, a reason for modern leadership preferring creativity to coherence.
