Seniority Priority

Seniority priority.  It’s a part of corporate America that doesn’t get a lot of pub, but is at the heart of most everything we do.  Senior level execs say ‘Jump!’ and all colleagues quickly ask ‘How high?’  Unless you want to commit career suicide, requests from senior level execs naturally take priority.  This concept can be extended throughout all levels of the organization.  Basically, the higher the person is on the org chart above you, the higher the priority you will place on the request.
