What does hierarchy mean

Hierarchy is a very resilient management structure that has been so embedded in the way we work that most organizations around the world are having a long time getting out of it.

Explanation:

I've talked about some pretty old-fashioned workplace practices and approaches, and hierarchy is one of them. According to Wikipedia, "probably the first use of the word 'hierarchy' in English cited by the Oxford English Dictionary was in 1880, when it was used to refer to the three orders of the three angels as Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite depicts the 6th Century).” This model was quickly adopted by the military as a way to represent a chain of command and of course we have all seen and experienced this in our organizations (and most still do). . This kind of model makes sense for linear work, where brain power is not needed and where the people who work there are treated like usable cogs. However, as the battle for talent continues to get fiercer, organizations around the world are rapidly trying to find alternatives to the hierarchy. In fact, every single organization that I speak to, work for, and study, is looking to spruce up their structure. No one ever told me they wanted more bureaucracy and more classes. Yes in.
