Turbulence in the corporate world, putting it simply using analogies
Leaf, Branch, Tree - analogy.
When the wind blows, the tree trunk is the least which gets affected, in terms of the movement.
The branches do move, the most to get affected are leaves. Yet not many fall. Sometimes the weak branches do give away, all leaves attached go down with it.
When an organization faces turbulence, offices other than HQ often get affected. But HQ maintains its steady state like the trunk. Layoffs, shutdowns happen.
Understanding the tree, branch analogy can help provide better insight to turbulence's encountered.
The Wheel analogy.
The center of the wheel being the HQ, the rim of the wheel is where the maximum velocity is. Everyone on the rim are moving, but the center seems to remain constant.
