The Board of Directors appoints the Managing Director (or, as in USA, CEO – Chief Executive Officer) and other key executives, directors. They employ managers who head other smaller departments
A senior executive such as Director or Manager is in charge of a department and directs the activity of the officers. A Director (Manager) plans and then controls the work, organizes effective teamwork, arranges meetings to discuss and analyze the results. Directors or managers make important decisions because they are responsible for the work of the department.
A company usually has a number of departments with definite functions, and some big departments have several subordinate departments (units, sections or groups). These units do part of the department job and report to the department Director.
