What do the following group of ["World Class Achievers"] have in common: Leonardo DaVinci, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Wolfgang A. Mozart, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill , Ernest Hemingway, and Virgina Woolf?
They all used stand-up tables.
Mozart wrote many of his music compositions while standing up, while Leonardo DaVinci developed alot of his ideas while standing up.
Donald Rumfeld, US Secretary of Defense is also an user of the "Stand-up" table. It has been rumored that he works a minimum of 12 hours per day.
Currently, many CEOs, military professionals, architects, lawyers and artists are fanatic users of the stand-up tables.
It has been said that standing up while working, improves one's own health and productivity. From my personal experience, it's true.

Based on this Cardinal's x'lation of Jiang Tai Gong's essay ["Yin Fu"] and Wang Xu's essay ["Master of Ghost Valley"], he presumed that many of the great Chinese strategic achievers indirectly practiced the art of standing. Especially, when Jiang Tai Gong's other essay ["Six Strategies of Conflict" aka Jiang Tai Gong's Six Secret Teachings] is a popular reading among Chinese military professionals since ancient China.
fyi- The great Renaissance man Zheng Manqing (aka Cheng Man Ching) (one of the best Yang Taiji players was the master of the "Five Excellences": painting, poetry, calligraphy, medicine and martial arts) performed most of his drawings while standing.

A "horizontal length" table psychologically gives the planner the perspective of seeing the big picture and having all of the information in front of him. My favorite horizontal table is a dining table.
fyi- The more "white space" between the objects on the table, the more one can view the indirect and direct connections within the big picture.
