Applying Bolman and Deals Framing
Bolman and Deal (2013) defined the concept of a frame as “a coherent set of idea or beliefs forming a prism or lens that enable you to see and understand more clearly what goes on from day to day” (p.41). Stephen Covey, (2004) describes these lenses a form of “mental map” that is used by an individual for “perceiving, understanding, and interpreting” (p.31).
In 2011, I worked with an organization to develop a new curriculum for the development of leadership competencies with the firm. Aptly called the Six Pillars, the program provided a core curriculum of six competency areas that were developed for salaried personnel depending upon an individual’s role and level within the organization. Much of this program
