The Pyramid structure, the Circle structure, and the Ad Hoc structure.
The Pyramid structure uses a hierarchy system in which the president is the head. The Chief of Staff collects information from the White House staff and then reports it to the president. The president is generally open to the press in this model and is not overburdened with processing a large amount of information. However, the president only hears what the Chief of Staff tells him, which allows for accidental or purposeful withholding of information. Examples include Presidents Eisenhower and Reagan.
The Circle structure, or the wheel-and-spoke structure, keeps the president at the center of processing information. The structure demands strong leadership from the president as he deals with everyday staff. The Chief of Staff plays a smaller role in this structure. Although the president has more control, the time and effort of going through a plethora of information can be overwhelming and the president may loose sight of the big picture. Examples include Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Kennedy.
The Ad Hoc structure is one that is often used in businesses. The president acts like a CEO, employing committees and special advisers to sift through information and advise on policy. The president may then make educated decisions on his policy agenda. This structure is similar to the Pyramid structure in the flow of information except that the there are multiple sources, not just the Chief of Staff. The information is still based on the discretion of advisers, though, and is not always unbiased. Examples include Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush.

Each President picks his/her own staff, which become the President’s closest advisors and usually have offices in the White House. (West Wing) Their titles do not always indicate the function they perform for the Chief Executive--assistant to the President; special consultant; counselor; etc. The titles vary from one administration to the next but in general, the men and women who hold the offices oversee the political and policy interests of the President. As part of a personal staff, they do not have to be confirmed by the Senate and they can be hired and fired at will. There are two ways to organize the staff: the circular method in which several assistants report directly to the President; and the pyramid method in which most assistants report through a hierarchy to a chief of staff who then deals with the President. Over the years, the White House staff has become an important group of advisors to the President and at times, are very powerful in influence.
