You're in a matrix, whether you realize it or not. The test: Do you have multiple bosses ? Do you depend on a variety of resources throughout the organization to get your tasks done, and do
these resources report into other people or teams? If you answered ��es��to either, you're in a matrix role. Matrix roles are everywhere. The field customer contact person who writes contracts,
negotiates delivery and troubleshoots product issues is in a matrix role. So is the product manager simultaneously accountable for numbers in her country, region and business unit despite the

Muscle, and Communicate without Assumption.
