Also could be retitled as “Never, ever piss off the custodian”
X=0 Y=0 =C =me
C, between A and B: A’s son who does no real work for the company.
Actually, I would disagree: C(the son or nephew of A) wouldn’t be between A and B, but instead be on the same verticle as A, next to the Y axis.
Hm. Depends on whether son/nephew/nepotism-benefactor is getting a paycheck or not. If they are, it’s likely to be higher than A’s assistant’s.
the assistant level could not too low
The assistant’s power level should actually be higher than the boss’s. I’m serious. Organizationally, the person who controls access to power actually outranks the power-holder. It’s no good knowing the VP on a first-name basis if the assistant borks every attempt to get a meeting with her.
The water behind a dam is immensely powerful. But that power is only released upon the terms of the person operating the spillway.
Hey Brian, let me know if you’re in need of an exec assistant – I’ve got 18 years of experience keeping back the corporate flood waters. Although, B will need to be more in line with A than graphed above… or international travel and the occassional tennis tournament box seats thrown my way. :)
I think B needs to be farther to the right. The assistant makes the exec’s schedule and actually has more power.
I am liking it
