Managing For Success In A Matrix Organization
I am not a command-and-control leader. Though the hierarchical pyramid works for some, I prefer a framework that invites collaboration, flexibility and balance.
This structure radiates decision-making duties across teams and departments rather than driving them from one direction (the top), helping gain buy-in and commitment across the organization. It values the expertise of multiple leaders and allows team members to cross-train their skills. This is the matrix organization, which I consider a template for my and many other businesses’ success.
