Add Reporting and Team Links to Org Chart
Real Working Groups

CEO asks people to connect formal relationships with other seats in four rounds:

  • Direct reports (solid-line); matrix reports (dotted-line); key teams; and basic workflow links
First, each manager extends solid red ribbon marked with arrows from their chair to each staff member’s seat, one tier above

Second, managers extend dotted red ribbons to matrix reports  (and gives them new team patches)

Third, non-management team leaders, all those managing funded and authorized working groups, run green ribbons with membership arrows from their chairs to team members’ seats
  • Many managers and large number of “white coats” extend green teaming ribbons
  • Team leaders repeat process to cover each team they lead
  • Team members receive patches for each team where they play role
As more staff are identified as team leaders, more people change uniforms
  • Staff don line-leader or executive uniforms; line leaders add executive braid indicating they manage network of teams
Now more extensive true leadership network reveals itself from bottom-up, bringing great tangle of green lines connecting some stadium seats many times over
