A management pyramid, also called a hierarchical structure, is an organizational structure where there is one leader on top with increasingly larger tiers of management teams below them. You can envision the structure of these kinds of organizations to resemble the shape of a pyramid. Each level of management is responsible for the tier directly underneath them. Rather than the person on top overseeing what everyone does, employees work more closely with the managers directly above them. It is each level’s responsibility to pass down the expectations or messaging of those directly in charge of them.
