Title: A classic .... only getting better ...
Review: Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice and Leadership (JOSSEY-BASS BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT SERIES)This is a classic organizational text that only gets better by updating. Unlike other authors who "update" with a small face lift, this book updates by redoing many of the examples and key learnings. Bolman and Deal are a "must read" if you want to be a leader in any complex organization. Their four frames are not the "be all and end all" of organizational study, but they do provide a VERY USEFUL tool to reflect on oranizational decisioning processes and outcomes. It is easy, from reading the text, to understand why strong organizations with dynamic leaders can occasionally make destructive choices. It also provides a new leader a way to analyze a specific problem from multiple angles and get comfortable with the ultimate set of choices to pursue. Reframing Organizations is not just a good read, but a keeper on my leadership shelf!J Michael Thomson, Ph.D.
