Manager coverage and scope

People often ask what the different responsibilities are between levels of management: manager, director, and VP. First, there is no perfect way to draw this as organizations are all different. This sketch is an attempt to show different areas of coverage and daily interaction.

1. Team view: Primarily focused on the success and performance of direct reports.
2. Cross-functional: Working with other team leaders across the org
3. Upward: In addition to overseeing larger scope of org, works upward with senior leaders on strategy
4. Company level: Usually executives or department heads. Focuses at the company/board level
