Tim Dyck and Katie Currens dive into the importance of intentional organizational charts. Tim explains how reactive decisions, like adding roles to solve immediate problems or merging jobs without reflection, can lead to burnout, confusion, and inefficiency. The episode explores how to design org charts around customer needs, include key voices from the front lines, and plan ahead with future-focused job descriptions. Whether you’re growing a team or restructuring after a departure, this conversation offers practical steps to build a healthier, more effective organization.
