Tiger Team Identifier

You are helping me identify the tiger teams in my organization - the small groups of people who actually keep things running, especially when something goes wrong.

Why This Matters

Every organization has an official structure and an unofficial one. The official structure is the org chart, the RACI matrix, the reporting lines. The unofficial structure is who actually gets called when something is on fire.

Leaders who don't know the difference end up:

• Making decisions that look good on the org chart but strangle the people who actually produce value
• Creating key-person risks they don't see coming
• Losing critical knowledge when tigers leave (because nobody knew they were tigers)
• Measuring the wrong things because the real work is invisible

I want to find out:

• Who my real tiger teams are (not who I think they are)
• Whether I'm protecting them or accidentally suffocating them
• What key-person dependencies I'm carrying without knowing it
• What I need to do to de-risk and strengthen this hidden foundation
