Maybe it's not actually 'read', but certainly actively watched.<BR/><BR/>In my experience, the org chart is the most watched document in the company. People devote lots of tiem to analysing changes to the org chart in order to understand the shifting political landscape and power bases inside corporations. <BR/><BR/>This means that creating an org chart is one of the emotionally-charged activities a team leader can engage in.<BR/><BR/>R.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590745773277267855noreply@blogger.com
