Without the necessary structure, it becomes difficult to navigate the river and direct it toward a desired destination. Just like a river needs banks to create flow and direct it, an organization needs hierarchy to ensure that information is flowing and that decisions are ultimately made by the right people. ![a diagram of the flow of responsibility from the creator all the way to bacteria and microbes, saturated color scheme ](https://lexica-serve-encoded-images.sharif.workers.dev/md/10908fd4-c956-4fd1-9337-0eb22be9a266) <iframe src="https://app.excalidraw.com/l/5MKXLddifTr/OkggDM5ogh" width="800px" height="800px"/>
