I realized something this morning as I rode the elevator up to my floor. In a very structured organization, there are 2 very superficial ways of flattening the organizational structure, and to get noticed... the elevator, which forces bosses, middle managers and employees (if there isn't an executive elevator) to have brief "face-time" moments... and then there's email... which allows anyone from the middlemen to the line grunts to send a note to the C.E.O...
But then I realized something even better... the only way to credibly get noticed and flatten hierarchies in an organization... is to do your job well... Plain and simple... Because no matter how much you blow your horn and market yourself, at the end of the day, its the work that you do that matters, and not just what you say. You got to walk the talk!
So... anyway, given that little thought, I shall go back to my drawing board and let my saliva ferment a little more, while I squeeze my brains on this assignment
