Ray: This book is sacred text for leadership in organizations. It is about seeing organizational life with a new pair of lenses, scratch that, with four sets of lenses, and developing a multi-perspectival approach to innovation and change. This is a book about seeing and believing, “if we don’t know what we’re seeing or we’re seeing the wrong picture, we don’t understand why we’re not getting the results we want.” Why do we need four sets of lenses? Because there is no “one way” to lead an organization or solve organizational challenges. Myopic thinking is why so many bright, creative, energetic leaders fail. They cannot see organizations in their complexity and think critically about alternative possibilities for change. Organizations are complex, surprising, deceptive, and ambiguous. The four frames help us to clarify reality and actually see what’s happening.

The book works in two primary parts. First the book takes a massive, textbook, birds-eye view of the four organizational frames, rooting them in real leadership and organizational experiences in sectors that span the private, public and non-profit: organizations as ubiquitous as McDonald’s, as...

Gyaneshwar Prasad: Read this book if you are a decision maker for your organization or if you dream to make your organization great. Your view of your organization from the four frames - Structural, HR, Political & Symbolic - described in this book, would change your outlook. This work is based on comprehensive research of literature as well as of organizations; most best sellers are based on anecdotes. I thank my professor for suggesting me read this book!

Zipster Zeus: The fact this book has made it to a fifth edition is enough confirmation that you have a classic to hand here. This is a go-to book for business development, structuring and leadership information and guidance and this edition brings many issues bang up to date. And information made available is at times mind-boggling, but only in a good way. It's cross-referencing and ease of access for consulting key issues is excellent and I would say this is an essential fixture on any business owner/manager's bookshelf.

Amazon Customer: An excellent book for anyone involved in organizational leadership. Despite its size (434 pages in the main body of text) it's a very easy read, with helpful graphics and insightful case studies. Highly Recommended!

Danny Graybeal: I purchased this book for an Ed.S. course I am currently enrolled in. I wasn't sure how engaging it would be since honestly most textbooks aren't written to be engaging, but almost purely informative. That being said, t his is one of the few textbooks I have had to read over the years that I don't really mind sitting down to read at all! It came very quickly, and the packaging was great to protect it while being shipped.

The book itself is focused primarily on how to look at leadership through different lenses, or as they refer to them frames. It gives MANY real world examples and could apply to nearly any area of leadership, business, education, or otherwise. Like I said, very easy to read and not at all textbook-y. If you have to purchase this for a course I think you will be pleasantly surprise by the content and structure of the book!

The Reader: I give this book a Five star out of Five.

I took an online course and having an electronic version of the text was a big bonus and only makes sense because I could access it and complete my readings from anywhere, including my iPhone.

Unlike most business texts, the narrative writing style, almost casual, gave the concepts context and drove them home. For example, take the introduction to chapter one, “Steve Jobs had to fail before he could succeed. Fail he did. He was fired from Apple Computer, the company he founded, and spent eleven years “in the wilderness” (Schlender, 2004).” (Kindle version location 77 of 2328). This reads like a suspense novel and just sucks you in.

The authors pulled information from a great variety of interesting real life sources, and if the like watching current events then this book is perfect. And if you like the subject matter, Organizational development, then this is even better.

The other thing I liked about this book is the APA citation style. For me, this whole thing about properly citing sources is new and while reading other texts, learning what is wrong and right can be overwhelming at times. I am still...

MR. G. ARVANITAKIS: Excellent book, with content that flows as a story and allows each frame that follows to complements the ones before, clearly highlighting comparisons and contrasts. Examples providing historic coverage in line with the ongoing and very recent theoretical developments in the area of OB and very comprehensive, best describing/illustrating the points raised through the theory. Definitely recommend it.
