# Benevolent Prince

A mismanagement style with the code (PA-I).

This style is interested in short-term results, (P), and efficient systems of control, (A), and is capable of uniting people to implement the decisions and the systems, (I). 

Whereas the Slave Driver (PA--) simply gets people working, the Benevolent Prince allows others to present and discuss ideas, although he makes the final decision himself. The Benevolent Prince is a mismanagement style because it provides no vision and is unwilling to take risks.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://adizes-institute.gitbook.io/adizes/wiki/benevolent-prince.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
