AN ELEGANT FRAMEWORK FOR MORE EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP

Bolman and Deal’s four-frame model has been transforming business leadership for over 40 years. Using a multidisciplinary approach to management, this deceptively simple model offers a powerful set of tools for navigating complexity and turbulence; as the political and economic climate continues to evolve, this model has never been more relevant than today.

The Structural Frame explores the convergence of organizational structure and function, and shows why social architecture must take environment into account. Case studies illustrate successful alignment in diverse organizations, and guidelines provide strategic insight for avoiding common pathologies and achieving the right fit.

The Human Resource Frame dissects the complex dynamics at the intersection of people and organizations and charts the leadership and human resource practices that build motivation and high performance.

The Political Frame shows how competition, conflict, and the struggle for power and resources can be either a tool for growth or a toxic landmine for an individual or organization. Case studies show how both constructive and destructive practices influence social, political, and economic trends both within and beyond organizational boundaries.

The Symbolic Frame defines organizational culture, and delves into the emotional and existential underbelly of social life. It underscores the power of symbolic forms such as heroes, myths, and rituals in providing the glue that bonds social collectives together.

The Seventh Edition has been updated with new information on cross-sector collaboration, generational differences, virtual environments, globalization, cross-cultural communication, and more, with an expanded Instructor’s Guide that includes summaries, mini-assessments, videos, and extra resources.

It’s a good book but some of the pages were printed with low ink. They are legible but not what I’d expect to see considering the price tag.

Excellent and highly valuable for everyone in an organization

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023

This is one of the best books I've read on any subject. It is fascinating and readable, and crammed full of high-quality *research-based* information.

I have found the four frames discussed very valuable ways to look at leadership and organizations, and they have helped me understand and navigate the organizations I'm part of.

This is not just a book for leaders and managers. Anyone who works or lives in an organization (that's everyone) could greatly benefit from this book's information about how things work.

Some reviewers here have focused on the supposed political ideology in this book. This is not a book with a strong political agenda. It discuses things in a balanced way and gives examples from many organizations of all types.

Trump does come up several times, partly I think because the book was published in 2021, and Trump was such a salient case study in leadership during that time period. The people here complaining about right wing bias are a little bit correct. The book does not harp on politics, but I would say that overall it speaks from a moderate, left leaning worldview, which is frankly the view that most books have (and which I think is the most valuable view).

But accusations of heavy liberal bias are unfounded. I think for many people at the extreme ends of the political spectrum, any rational critique you try to make will be seen as biased.

That's too much about politics (par for the course in current America).

Get this valuable book and read it. It was the textbook for a graduate class I took on the theory of leadership, but it is not an abstract, dry academic book that requires a lot of effort to understand. It is very readable and engaging.

While I purchased this in 2023, my class was postponed until now. I am very disappointed that MOST of the pages between 83-110 are completely illegible as the printing ink is nearly non-existent. It's a good thing that I can obtain a paper copy from my professor. However, I wanted the book so I can keep it for future reference.
