In this two-hour audio progamme, Lee G. Bolman and Terrence E. Deal tell managers how to get out of management traps by "reframing" and looking at management challenges from another perspective. The programme brings down to earth the key concepts from Bolman and Deal's book, "Reframing Organizations", explaining in concise and practical terms how managers can use four different frames - structural, human resources, political, and symbolic - in their work.
