Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice, and LeadershipWiley, 2003 M08 27 - 483 pages Become a More Versatile Manager and a More Artistic Leader In this third edition of their best-selling classic, authors Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal explain the powerful tool of "reframing."

The core of the book is reframing, a tool for finding new opportunities and options in confusing and troubling organizational situations. The authors show how multiple frames give leaders an edge in decoding organizational complexity. The new edition highlights current developments in organizational and leadership research. It presents new case examples from organizations such as eBay, Enron, Harley-Davidson, the New York City Fire Department, and the U.S. Marine Corps. The book also introduces "Organizational Theory’s Greatest Hits," text boxes that ground the book in the most influential scholarly work. The new edition also offers a rich mix of geographic, cultural, and gender diversity throughout. Includes on-line instructor’s guide available at www.wiley.com/college/bolman |
