The proven model that offers powerful and elegant strategies for
leaders
How Great Leaders Think: the Art of Reframing uses compelling,
contemporary examples to show how more complex thinking is the key to
better leadership. Leaders who understand what's going on around them
see what they need to do to achieve the results they want. Bolman and
Deal's influential four-frame model of leadership and
organizations--developed in their bestselling book, *Reframing
Organizations: Artistry Choice and Leadership--*offers leaders an
accessible guide for understanding four major aspects of organizational
life: structure, people, politics, and culture. Tapping into the
complexity enables leaders to decode the messy world in which they live,
see more options, tell better stories, and find strategies that are more
effective. Case examples of leaders like Jeff Bezos at Amazon, Howard
Schultz at Starbucks, Tony Hsieh at Zappos, Ursula Burns at Xerox, and
the late Steve Jobs at Apple provide concrete lessons that readers can
put to use in their own leadership. The book's lessons include:
- How to use structural tools to organize teams and organizations for
better results
- How to build motivation and morale by aligning organizations and
people
- How to map the terrain and build a power base to navigate the
political dynamics in organizations
- How to develop a leadership story that shapes culture, provides
direction, and inspires commitment to excellence
