MGMT 8025 WEEK 1 DISCUSSION

1. Discussion 1: Managements and Organizations
As a manager, you are expected to have a good understanding of how things work (or do not work) within the area of your span of influence. Managers have many ways for doing this, some more effective than others. Prior to reviewing your learning resources on metaphors and frames (before reading or viewing any course materials), complete Discussion 1 from your own experience and what you know about management and organizations at this moment. Note: You will be exempt from providing evidence for the course materials and outside resources required on the rubric for the initial post.

2. Discussion 2: Bolman and Deal’s Reframing Model
In addition to Bolman and Deal’s (2013) reframing model as a way of making sense of organizations, you may tend to naturally observe an organization through your own intuitive frame. The key, as an effective manager, is to be aware of how you tend to frame what happens within an organization and to utilize additional tools for understanding the organization from various perspectives. When combining insights from additional frames, a more detailed picture of the organization emerges.
For this Discussion, you will take the “Leadership Self-Assessment on Reframing Organizations” questionnaire, through the link provided to you in your resources, to determine what your natural leadership style is—in terms of the four frames.
Note: When you take the assessment, you will immediately be provided a report on your leadership style along with information to interpret what that style means.
Post by Day 5 a response to the following:
Describe your leadership style in respect to reframing and share one strength and one possible limitation of your natural leadership preference. Also, provide two suggestions for developing or applying these frames to your learning.
Note: Provide citations in APA format from at least two of this week’s resources

NOTE: MORE THAN ONE ANSWER POSTED FOR EACH QUESTION
