SUMMARY

Structural Framework: problem based, processes, analysis, design
**Leadership**: In an effective leadership situation, the leader is a social architect whose leadership style is __analysis & design.__ An ineffective leadership situation, the leader is a petty tyrant whose leadership style is __details.__ Structure leaders focus on structure, strategy, environment, implementations, experimentations, and adaptation. Structural frame addresses fundamental questions of organizations, how, where and why responsibilities are assigned, what connections and relationships are explicit, what certainty there is about the mission and aims of the organization, and the specific ways and means designed to help the organization achieve its goals. Every organization develops a design, and a set of mechanisms to cope with its environment. Businesses, military units, governments, and public or private associations all have structure and organization as a visible frame for their operational philosophy and processes. //Reframing Organizations // (Bolman and Deal),


 * Organizations exist primarily to accomplish established goals.
 * For any organization a structural form can be designed and implemented to fit its particular set of circumstances (such as goals, strategies, environment, technology, and people).
 * Organizations work most effectively when environmental turbulence and personal preferences are constrained by norms of rationality. (Structure ensures that people focus on getting the job done rather than on doing whatever they please.)
 * Specialization permits higher levels of individual expertise and performance.
 * Coordination and control are essential to effectiveness. Depending on the task and environment, coordination may be achieved through authority, rules, policies, standard operating procedures, information systems,, meetings, lateral relationships, or a variety of more informal techniques.
 * Organizational problems originate from inappropriate structures or inadequate systems and can be resolved through restructuring or developing new systems. (Bolman and Deal, 1991).The structure usually contains a carefully crafted set of tasks within each sector of the organization, along with the procedure and protocols used to accomplish the mission.The structural frame would **__analyze the physical attributes, the procedures that were in place, The symbolic frame might be particularly relevant in the sense that perceptions of the threat, and adequacy of protection, and even the kinds of protection might have been perceived__**
