Johan Galtung defined two structures for human interaction: thin-and-big (the pyramid) or thick-and-small (the wheel). Which describes your organization? And is it the right one?
As a small arts org currently very intentionally embracing the strengths of "wheeliness" it was really great to see someone discuss that hierarchal pyramids aren't the only way to set up an organization - and that while yes, wheels are more complicated and somewhat more fragile, they also work, move well, and enrich the lives and work experiences of those who are part of them in meaningful ways.
