Layout Pattern
Org Chart
Hierarchical tree of reporting relationships. Shows structure, spans of control, and open roles.

How to Use It
Org charts answer who reports to whom. Use top-down tree layout with the leader at the top, direct reports below, and so on. Show photo, name, and title for each role. Leave obvious gaps for open headcount (helps with hiring conversations). For large orgs, show only 2-3 levels per slide and link to a detailed version. Color-code by function when structure spans departments. Avoid showing dotted lines unless they materially matter.
