It seems odd that today executive desks are likely to have holes drilled all over them. Yes, the longstanding huge monster of a rectangular wooden desk has probably seen the last of its better days. Today we opt for round cornered plasticized desktops without file drawers that are built to accommodate the plentitude of digital devices that will be stashed all across are desk. Indeed, the primary of these, our computer monitor actually is referred to on its own as a desktop.
The look of power and success for executive desks now seems to center around oval or kidney shapes in either a durable plastic or glass top. The aforementioned holes are created to allow us to run the dozens of cables required for computer monitors, keyboards and printers. It is not unusual today for even senior members of management to have a desktop computer at one end of their desk and the laptop on the other. Being an executive today means much more than delegating authority to many others. As we all rely upon information technology, we must use that garnered knowledge to guide us in directing our business.
