What are some common mistakes to avoid when creating an org chart?

Some common mistakes to avoid when creating an org chart include: not updating it regularly, making it overly complex, not including everyone in the organization, and not aligning it with the company's goals and structure. It's also important to avoid making it too hierarchical, as this can create barriers within the organization. Instead, aim for a balance between hierarchy and collaboration.

Question was asked on:

Traditionally, when people think of an org chart, they think of a tree shape that branches out to show a team's hierarchy. This visualization branches out from left to right to fit more information on a single slide. The light blue branches are the executive team. They are probably the lead of their respective team or department, and could also be customized to department names with the leads and reports underneath. (Slide 3)
