[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started a new position about six months ago, switching from one office in my agency to another. The new office is oddly situated, with no hierarchal structure. My team of eight varies in grade from GS 9 to 15, yet we are all viewed as peers on equal footing even though our experience ranges from 2 years to 20. We report to a Division Chief, but she is generally too stressed to manage and seems bothered by "trivial" things like reporting structure.

I am taken aback by the lack of structure and find it chaotic and unnecessarily competitive. In all my past roles, the structure was hierarchal and based on rank/experience, and the more senior employees served as mentors/team leads. I am new and hesitant to recommend structural changes while I acclimate, but I am open to being wrong and that team hierarchy isn't essential.

What has been your experience with team environments, and what has worked best structurally?

If that's true, the 9s need to request desk audits. Great for the 9s, not so great for the 15s.[/quote]
