Smells Like Team Spirit

We’ve all seen institutional, personnel flowcharts. They’re hierarchical. Start at the top and work your way down. There’s a literal value in this. You look at it and you know who is in charge of what, who is accountable to whom, which individuals are assigned to which areas, etc. But that doesn’t visually capture what daily life at the office is really like, now does it? Medical workplace environments are more like overlapping circles. Some people spend a great deal of time working alongside and interacting with one another; others far less so.
