Answer 1

a. A Team leader would be a group facilitator.

Team leaders are meant to coordinate the activities of small groups in a company to achieve certain short term targets. They are therefore most suited to be group facilitators.

b.

Project managers and others who bring people together from various parts of the organization to perform a task are in this layer of management. ⇒ MIDDLE MANAGERS

Middle level managers are in charge of departments and divisions and have the goal of achieving the mandate set by the Top management. They do so by bringing together various parts of the organization under a division and work to achieve the set goals.

Having titles like chief executive officer (CEO), president, chairperson, and director general, these managers report directly to the board of directors. ⇒ TOP LEVEL MANAGERS

Top level managers sit on top of the hierarchy of the entire organization and report directly to the Board of Directors. They include positions like the CEO, President, CFO, Director-General, etc. They set the overall strategic goals of the company.

These managers are responsible for guiding and coaching the employees who actually do the work of the organization ⇒ FIRST-LINE MANAGERS.

First-line managers are the closest to the employees and so supervise them to carry out the goals passed onto them by first level managers. They include positions like office managers and plant supervisors.
