Your Org Chart Is a Lie

Episode notes

Most organizations rely on org charts to explain how work gets done. The problem? Org charts rarely reflect reality. In this episode of What the Heck is Happening in HR , Kelley Rexroad explores the hidden influence networks, informal leaders, and “shadow organizations” that drive decisions, shape culture, and determine whether change initiatives succeed or fail. From onboarding and leadership transitions to employee retention and organizational effectiveness, understanding who truly holds influence may be more important than understanding reporting lines. Because the real organization often exists beyond the boxes and lines on a chart.#Leadership #OrganizationalCulture #HRLeadership #WorkplaceCulture #ChangeManagement #LeadershipDevelopment #EmployeeExperience #OrganizationalDevelopment #HumanResources #FutureOfWork #Management #BusinessLeadership
