Everything Has a “Top Down” Look and Feel
The Myths Surrounding Top Down Organizational Structures
Myth #1Leadership Structure is the same thing as
Leadership Methodology
Leadership structure merely identifies who the leaders are in the organization…Leadership
Methodology is an effective way of leading individuals and
teams
The Myths Surrounding Top Down Organizational Structures
Myth #2The People at the top are meant to give orders for the rest of the organization to
carry out
Leadership is not about giving orders! It is about visioning and implementing change,
influencing, motivating, and developing subordinates.
The Myths Surrounding Top Down Organizational Structures
Myth #3Leadership is for the people at the
top, not the bottom
“Position” often implies leadership, but it does not guarantee it…Leadership is a behavior,
not a title.
