If I’m confused

When it comes to the org chart, some of those orgs like to leave out the lines. Maybe it preserves some delicate egos and gives them the chance to imagine they report somewhere else, or don’t report, or have a level of seniority that may or may not be true.

Might work for them. Maybe.

Most times though (which is code for every time), clarity works better.

It works better because it forces things into the open. Not because of the formality of it or because that fantasy spares some egos, but because it removes the confusion.

And confusion is the killer of productivity, progress, direction, decisions, action. If I’m confused, I don’t know where to turn. If I’m clear, it’s a straight line to where I need to go. Decision made, action released.

Skippy strategy: Don’t worry about bruised egos, take action to give clear direction and accountability.
