Robert:

Agree.

As organizations flatten their corporate structure, executives are faced squarely with the need to understand how information actually passes through and around their organization.

They are faced, in my view, with two problems:

1- They have been out of that mainstream a very long time and are probably not good mentors for the flattended structure--at least in fostering the organized prliferation of knowledge.

2- They have, however, still a pretty good idea of how to determine who the real leaders and mentors of the workers are in the organization.

If they concentrate their efforts at locating and encouraging the current generation of leaders and fostering the efforts of those leaders, then their insecurity at working outside the box is lessened--while their effectiveness as supporters is heightened.

That may be all that many senior leaders can do

best regards

JT
