Reframing Organizations, 5th edition
The fifth edition of Reframing Organizations is due in August. The four frames remain the heart of the book, and the chapter structure is the same as in the 4th edition, but we've edited and added new cases and research throughout to capture the state of knowledge and practice about organizations and leadership in 2013. The frames help in understanding, for example, why Steve Jobs needed to fail before he could succeed, and how Jeff Bezos (Amazon) and Howard Schultz (Starbucks) can share an obsession with perfecting the customer experience yet have such different ideas about how to do it.
Leading with Soul, 3rd edition
The third edition of Leading with Soul
came out in August, 2012. Terry Deal and I have explored the book's
timeless spiritual message in the context of a
different world than we lived in when the previous edition
was published in 2001. We've updated to reflect the impact of the
economic, political and technological shifts of the last decade,
added new material
on corporate citizenship and social responsibility, and
worked hard to make the book an even more compelling read.
You can find both the
hard cover and
Kindle editions on Amazon or
Barnes & Noble. There's also a link to the book on the
Jossey-Bass site.
