The Five Levels of MCW’s Organization Chart. Is Your Chart in Place for Success?
Welcome back readers!
In our last blog, I guided you through how we set up M Colleen Wietmarschen’s Organization Chart. We all learn a little bit differently so today I am providing a visual guide on how we set up our Organization Chart. I will start off by showing you the overall framework that I will refer back to throughout the rest of this blog. I will also go through a more generalized approach to setting up your own organization chart as well.
First off, in the green, we have the top of the totem pole, the owner. This is the person (or persons) who leads the company.
Our second level consists of our top executive, the president of our company. S/He is the person who directly guides the company in the direction set by the owner. The president directly oversees the next level of executives or our top-level management.
Our top-level management, as seen in orange boxes, are our vice presidents. As I mentioned in our last blog, the vice presidents are responsible for each branch of our company. These branches distinguish jobs so each and every position has a clearly defined role.
The next level of employees are individuals responsible for more specific jobs, such as our financial positions. This also includes our top entry level management such as the editor or the project manager. Since each branch is unique, this level is where we see the first variance in roles; these are some entry level managers as well as “foot soldiers” of the branch.
Our last level, the red level (no, not the red shirts from Star Trek, we don’t want any of our employees hurt!) is the lowest, but necessary, rung on our chart. These are our team members who do specific jobs for our clients and our company. Without these valuable people, it would be hard for everyone to complete the work for the client.
So in a quick recap here are the levels we incorporated for our business:
- Owner
- Top Executives
- Top Management
- Mixed Management
- Specific Job Area
We’re excited to hear about your organization chart and how it works for you. Do you use more levels or less? Comments can be written below!
Until next time,
Peter Wietmarschen
