In this third edition of their best-selling classic, authors Lee
Bolman and Terrence Deal explain the powerful tool of ‘reframing.’
The authors have distilled the organizational literature into a
comprehensive approach for looking at situations from more than one
angle. Their four frames view organizations as factories, families,
jungles, and theaters or temples:
* The Structural Frame: how to organize and structure
groups and teams to get results
* The Human Resource Frame: how to tailor organizations to
satisfy human needs, improve human resource management, and build
positive interpersonal and group dynamics
* The Political Frame: how to cope with power and
conflict, build coalitions, hone political skills, and deal with
internal and external politics
* The Symbolic Frame: how to shape a culture that gives
purpose and meaning to work, stage organizational drama for
internal and external audiences, and build team spirit through
ritual, ceremony, and story
