Another term used in chapter three is Hierarchy. Hierarchy is the vertical arrangement of power and authority. This is what distinguishes managers from employees. Hierarchy can be found in any type of organization such as schools, clubs, teams, businesses, or even in a family. In the Cheer team we also have a pyramid of hierarchy. On the bottom of the pyramid are the cheerleaders, then is the captain, next are the coach and advisor, and on top is the athletic director. I believe that having a hierarchy is a good way to manage an organization.

When I was in high school I did cheerleading, and I agree with you when you say that the cheer team also has a pyramid of hierarchy. You explain that at the "bottom of the pyramid are the cheerleaders,then is the captain, next are the coach and advisor, and on the top is the athletic director." This is exactly how are cheer squad was set-up when I was doing cheerleading. For some odd reason I felt like my cheer squad and I would blame our coach for many of the negative things that would happen to us. I don't know if it's because she "looked" our age (even though she was older). But in the end, like you mentioned, having hierarchy is a good way to manage an organization, especially in cheerleading.
