Sb: Flat Orgs & Learning LO4636

When I was little, my mom taught me to never say never, because 'never'
covers a lot of territory. Some lessons need to be relearned from time to
time. Recently stated that there were no examples of totally flat
organizations, and Willard has correctly pointed out my mistake. In fact,
there are probably a lot of organizations that are flat or very nearly so.
This forum is one good example of a nearly-flat organization.
Fortunately, we have Rick...

Host's Note: But, are *we* an organization? My first reaction was, no.
But, on second thought we are bound by common purpose (understanding org
performance, learning, and related topics).

My only excuse is that I was thinking too narrrowly about some specific
kinds of organizations.

Thank you Willard.
