Reframing Organizations (7th Edition)

Artistry, Choice, and Leadership

By: Lee G. Bolman, Terrence E. Deal

Narrated by: Peter Lerman

Reframing Organizations provides time-tested guidance for more effective organizational leadership. Rooted in decades of social science research across multiple disciplines, Bolman and Deal's four-frame model has continued to evolve since its conception more than 25 years ago. This new seventh edition will be updated to include additional coverage of cross-sector collaboration, generational differences, virtual environments, globalization, sustainability, and communication across cultures. The instructor's guide will be expanded to provide additional tools for the classroom, including chapter summary tip sheets, mini-assessments, Bolman and Deal podcasts, and more. These recent revisions reflect the intersection of listener recommendations and the current leadership environment, resulting in a renewed practicality and even greater alignment with everyday application.

The seventh edition combines the latest research from organizational theory, organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, political science, and more. It will be updated to include advances in the field since the sixth edition, with new case studies for each frame, and will address the COVID-19 pandemic.

Great book, terrible narrator

I have this book for my PhD and I loved that I could listen to it and have a physical copy. The narration is all but impossible to listen too and I listen to a lot of books. It sounds like a robot from NY, no fluidity or natural voice inflexions. I honestly couldn't get past chapter two. I'd rather read the physical book.

A vital book

Perhaps one of the most insightful and well-supported assessments of what organizations need from managers and leaders.

Paradigm shifting

We’ll worth it. Long book, but paradigmatic in approach, it took 7 editions to craft it in such a way that changes the readers view of organizations

Worst narrator ever

I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks. This has the worst narration ever. It’s hard to imagine how they got that guy in the studio and said yep that’s great. Keep going.

Better than expected

I had to read this for an admin class. If it wasn’t for the stories and humor, I would have given up. The reader is a bit nasal but speed him up and give him a few chapters and you may find his voice almost soothing. Okay maybe not but the premise of the book is great a they have updated the 7th edition very well.
