We have all seen the traditional organizational pyramid with the person in charge at the top. This pyramid usually has many layers in the middle consisting of some form of management or supervision, and all the line workers at the bottom. For some, this may be the only pyramid ever experienced. The concern I have with the traditional pyramid is that it depicts the leader resting on top, and this is the negative perception of the leader that many employees have throughout the organization.
