Food chain

Refers to the hierarchy or order of power and influence within an organization or industry. The higher up one is in the food chain, the more authority they have and the more influence they can exert on decisions and policies. This term is often used in discussions about power dynamics within a company or industry, and understanding where one stands in the food chain can be important for navigating these dynamics and making strategic decisions.

In business coaching, the “food chain” refers to the hierarchical structure of a particular industry or market, with larger and more established companies occupying the top of the food chain and smaller or newer businesses at the bottom. Business coaching can help clients understand their place in the food chain and develop strategies to navigate and compete within their industry. Coaching can also support clients in identifying opportunities for growth and differentiation, as well as in building strong partnerships and collaborations across different levels of the food chain.
