Levels of Management

There are four levels of management: top managers, middle managers, first-line managers, and nonmanagers. Top managers provide overall direction to the organization as CEOs and presidents. Middle managers coordinate activities between top managers and first-line managers by determining goals and plans. First-line managers have direct responsibility for production and supervising employees. Nonmanagers do not have managerial duties.
