Description
This work aims to show how to become a more versatile manager and a more artistic leader by presenting how to use the powerful tool of reframing to help bring order out of confusion and build high-performing, responsive organizations. Using examples from business, education, health care, and the public sector, the authors demonstrate how to integrate the structural, human resource, political, and symbolic frames into a powerful, coherent, and flexible management strategy that responds to an organisations current and future needs. This second edition offers updated examples and a focus to the rapidly changing business and political climate of the late 20th century.

Description
In this work, the authors consolidate key learnings from organization theory into four practical perspectives: the structural, human resource, political and symbolic. These frames show what is going on in organizations, and allow managers to clarify issues and create a flexible "big picture" management strategy. Using examples from business, education, health care and the public sector, the authors show how framing helps managers execute common management tasks such as building effective teams, responding to cutbacks, and managing technological change.
