@substack.philpin.com “When was the last time your org chart helped you actually ‘GSD’?”

We don’t have one where I work, and its absence has caused confusion and distrust amongst everyone, and, I believe, contributed to a bottleneck at the very top in decision making. All very frustrating. While I generally agree with your sentiments, an org chart for us would give some transparency and openness about who is doing what, where, when, why and who with, and potentially allow others to support and make decisions. We could get a lot more stuff done then!

I am not calling for the total abandonment of the org chart - just trying to nudge the idea along that we might be leaning on it a little too much. You have prompted a new piece that I need to write - thank you.

@davidmarsden well yes it’s rarely one thing - the onion needs peeling - even if it makes you cry.
