Figure 1. Relative priorities for risk management in terms of time

Management levels within an organization exist to demarcate different roles within the organization or company, and to help establish a chain of command. Broadly, there are three main levels of management. You can think of the levels as a triangle, or pyramid. At the top level, there are fewer people, but they have more say in the overall direction of the company — they have more authority. This level is often called the administrative level. At the second level of management, you have those who have some authority over certain departments or projects. This is called the executory level, since those who populate it are involved in executing so that the aims of the organization are met. Finally, at the bottom of the pyramid, is the supervisory level. These are managers that have more direct contact with workers, and are mainly involved in encouraging performance, and monitoring employees. 

The top level of management in most organizations is the ultimate authority. Administrative level managers can give authority to other managers in the organization, delegating to, or directly promoting, other managers. The top level of management consists of board of directors, top officers in the company, and directors in the company. Some of the functions of those at the top level of management include:

Setting out the goals, benchmarks and big picture for the organization.

Prepares policies for the organization, and sets forth consequences for their violation.

Promotes and appoints others to fulfill various roles in the company.

Coordinates activities for the whole organization, making sure that different departments are working in tandem to reach the organization’s goals.

Usually in charge of making public statements on behalf of the organization, as well as making appearances so that the community is aware of what the company is doing.

Directs broad changes in company direction.

Shows accountability to shareholders and other stakeholders in the company.

Ultimately responsible for the success or failure of the organization and its enterprises.

Those in the top level of management are often well-compensated for their efforts, due to the fact that, in theory, they have great responsibilities. It can be difficult to make it to the top level of management, since those positions are often scarce, and the competition for them is fierce. However, with hard work, good ideas, competence, and an ability to network, it is possible to reach the top level of management.

Depending on the size of the company or organization, middle management can be bigger or smaller. In some of the smaller organizations, the functions of the middle level and lower level of management are combined. However, in larger organizations, middle level management often requires additional divisions into senior and junior levels.

At this level, managers are in charge of branches or departments. Their job is to come up with sub-plans that contribute to the success of the company when meeting its goals. Middle managers are often involved in making sure that the steps to achieving the larger aims of the company are carried out. Some of the other duties that those at the executory level of management might be required to carry out include:

Training lower management, and training employees.

Coming up with incentives for employees and lower level managers.

Coordinating projects within the departments and branches.

Evaluating employee and lower manager performance.

At more senior positions in middle management, sometimes it is necessary to interact with the public, or issue statements.

Report to members of the top level of management. This might include in-person reports, or written reports and memos.

Enforce policies handed down from top management, and sometimes discipline lower level managers, or employees.

"In 2010 the year was rescued in performance terms by the huge injection of QE2. So the outcome was a reasonable year. Is there a Second Act to rescue this year? What do you think hedge fund returns will be for the whole of 2011?"
