PART TWO Respond with 175 words (C. Oowie Whitmore)
Greeting Peers,
I received my results. Scored higher as a Structural Leader and lower in Symbolic Leader. I excelled in creating and implementing systems, processes, and strategies that ensure efficiency and effectiveness within an organization. An example of when I exhibited an orientation to this frame would be when I led a project to reorganize a department for better workflow. I identified inefficiencies, redesigned processes, and implemented new structures to improve productivity.
To persuade or negotiate change using my strengths in the structural frame, I can focus on presenting clear, logical arguments supported by data and evidence. Highlight how I can propose changes will improve efficiency, save costs, or enhance overall performance. Emphasize the concrete benefits and outcomes of my proposals to gain buy-in from stakeholders who value these aspects.
To bolster my performance in the symbolic frame, where I rated lowest, I can start by understanding the importance of symbolism and culture in driving change. Focus on building relationships and fostering a sense of shared purpose and identity among stakeholders. Communicate my vision for change in a way that resonates emotionally with others, using storytelling and symbols to inspire and motivate.

Hey everyone,
So, I just got the results back from the Leadership Orientations Self-Assessment by Bolman and Deal, and let me tell you, it’s pretty interesting. My highest score was in the Political frame, I got a 19 out of 24, which puts me in the 90-100th percentile. That means I’m pretty good at understanding and navigating organizational politics and dynamics. You could say I’m comfortable with conflict and advocating for my unit or organization’s objectives.
Following closely behind, I scored a 17 in the Symbolic frame, which puts me in the 70-79th percentile. This suggests I effectively inspire and motivate others through vision and symbolism. I emphasize storytelling, symbolism, and creating a sense of meaning and purpose within the organization.
My lower scores in the Structural and Human Resources frames surprised me a bit. I scored a 10 in the Structural frame and a 14 in the Human Resources frame. I’ve always valued clear structures and systems, but maybe I haven’t been emphasizing them as much. As for the Human Resources side, I guess I haven’t been focusing as much on interpersonal relationships and teamwork as I thought.
