Personal Frames Self-Rating Scale

In this phase of continuing your voyage of self-discovery, you willtake a brief self-assessment that will introduce you to the four framesand provide a more intentional and informed understanding of your own“framing” orientation.

Instructions for the Frames Quick Self-Rating Scale

Rather than using Bolman and Deal’s Self-Rating Scale in the text, use the free self-scoring online version of Frames Self-Rating Scale availableon Lee Bolman’s website. This assessment is quick to take—about 10minutes—and will give you a dynamic report of your percentile rankingfor the four frames.

The instrument’s reliability (consistency of the measurement) ishigh because it has been reused often. The validity (the strength of theconclusions or inferences) is not as high because the results areindividualized and you are using it in a non-research environment. Forthe purposes of this course, however, the instrument will be quiteuseful for stimulating thinking and learning about leadership framingand reframing (Bolman & Deal, 2017).

Your Personal Frame Orientation

• Complete the Leadership Orientationsself-assessment to determine your own frame orientation. The leadership orientations instrument is keyed to four different conceptions oforganizations and the task of organizational leadership.
• Include in your post a 2- to 3-paragraph reflection onwhat these results might indicate about you as an agent of change. Also,consider what you might use as a professional growth area as a leader.

Support your statements with evidence from the required studies andyour research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.
