# The Misty Mountain

{% hint style="info" %}
**Ideal for**\
Teams who need to move fast and have a high degree of trust in their leadership. 
{% endhint %}

## Structure

An extreme minority of members create the strategy and delegate the mission down a chain of command.

### Examples include:

* many fortune 500 corporations, 
* militaries, 
* civil governments during war and other manufactured crises, 
* etc. 

### Suggested When:

Teams have an extreme minority of members who know **exactly** what needs to get done, and a majority of members who prefer to be given clear direction. 

### Known Pitfalls:

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
