The Organizational Chart

One Of The Most Important Parts Of An Organization's Documented Infrastructure

October 27, 2022

The Organizational Chart is an important part of developing infrastructure related to staff, the definition of authority, compensation, duties, responsibilities, etc. It seems like a “lost art” these days, however.

Organization Chart 1What do I mean? Nine times out of 10, when I ask a church leader if they have an organizational chart for their church staff, they say “no.” I’m like, “Why not?” They usually say they’ve never needed one, but when I get into issues they’re dealing with or helping them with infrastructure development, I discover they need one.

Here’s what I’m recommending. In your documentation related to the staff, you should have a revision-controlled document showing the organizational structure. You should keep it updated and readily available to everyone on staff. Make sense?

It seems pretty simple, but the number of leaders who do not have their organizational structure documented always surprises me.

It’s pretty easy to do. PowerPoint has organization chart functionality, as does Word and pretty much any good drawing or charting application. We’re now using Gliffy.Com for all of our charts. It works best with our Management System. (Read more about the Management System HERE.)
