A flagpole is a tall pole that a flag hangs from. You see them outside schools, government buildings, and sports grounds. The flag sits at the top, or people raise and lower it on a rope. Though actually, business English also has the idiom "run it up the flagpole": try an idea in public and see if people like it, as if you were putting a flag up to see who salutes. That is a stretch of the picture; the plain meaning is still just the pole. It is an everyday, clear compound: flag + pole.
