Throughout the semester we have learned about Framework Approaches to Leadership discussed by Boleman and Deal. These approaches are example guides for leaders to express that there are more than one behavioral model for leaders to incorporate into their leadership role. These concepts can help today’s leaders depending on the type of career they are pursuing.

Bolman and Deal 's Four Frameworks consist of Structural Framework, Human Resource Framework, Political Framework, and Symbolic Framework.

Different situations can produce some confusion as individuals see the same situation through different lenses.

Being the new Dean I think it is very important to have a meeting with my team to discussion my vision, plan and expectations. Knowing that everyone has different frame visuals, my approach to this meeting would be to hit all four frames. I would host a meeting; provide an agenda with my process, my plan to achieve the vision and my expected timeline to reach those goals. I would then open the floor for feedback to get involvement and alleviate any confusion. Also during the meeting I would share how this process was successful for me at my previous university and how Strupp School could benefit. I believe this process would help for a smoother transition as communication is key! Having a staff that is aware of goals and setting expectations and holding your team to those goals can help make a team more effective.
In order to rectify the damage control I would start with a meeting. I would do my best to de-fuse any gossip and uncertainty. I would be completely honest with my goals and what I have heard. As the new dean, I want to build relationships and trust with my new team. Trust is the easiest thing to lose and the hardest thing to gain. I would have a plan to avoid future incidents such as this one. Let my team know I have an open door policy and they can come to me with any questions or concerns.
