What does gang plank refer to?

The correct answer is Level Jumping.

Explanation: "GANG-PLANK is a term used in relation to the scalar chain, which refers to the hierarchy of superiors within an organization, ranging from the highest authority to the lowest level.

Key Points

• It is important to ensure that this chain of command is not overly extended to the detriment of the organization.
• The concept of Gang-Plank suggests that the scalar chain should be shortened when necessary.
• In the given scenario, if T needs to communicate with Y, the typical route for the message would be from T to O via S, R, Q, and P, and then from O to Y through U, V, W, and X.
• However, in situations where immediate communication is essential, a Gang-Plank (represented by a dotted line) can be established between T and Y without compromising the overall chain of command."
