The Advantages of Horizontal Organization
A
horizontal organizational chart usually has two or three levels, and the
business owner typically holds the top position on the chart. The second level
includes managers or team leaders, and the third level includes teams overseen
by a corresponding manager or team leader. Teams are cross-functional or
process-oriented and may govern themselves. A horizontal organization has very
few, if any, other managers, and employees enjoy more contact with a business
owner because only one layer separates them on the chart.
