"Most everyone is undoubtedly familiar with the term 'having a seat at the table' Often reserved for those who are considered to have both the influence and the power to make decisions and effect change, the table has become a symbol of power, negotiation and credibility through which one can forward their career, generate a sale or plot a course for enterprise success.
