CEO encourages standing in front to look at whole organization network from Tier 1 perspective
See how organization gets wider as expected to middle tiers, but grows smaller with each higher tier, a great diamond taking shape between first and last level
Note high-intensity colors of “size hub” leaders of large organizations, some near front as expected but surprising number evident many levels out in larger functions
Notice also the ‘networker’ seats with many direct connections, positions with a large circle of links just ‘one-degree of separation’ away, arrows pointed both in and out
Even one-link hierarchy has very high-span managers
See how ‘networker’ positions seem to bind the whole organization together, each working link indicating a personal relationship?
Especially intense are hotspots, positions with large size and high degree of connections
Lights flicker and people turn to gather with friends for dinner
As stadium lights dim, chairs and ribbons remain in shrouded darkness, ready for occupancy by next day’s cast of characters
