Detailed explanation-1: -A chain of command structure typically consists of three distinct levels: top-level management (CEO, COO), middle-level management (director-level positions) and front-line staff (those who interact with customers and carry out day-to-day operations).
Detailed explanation-2: -In a business setting, a subordinate is simply an employee who is not of management level and responds to either a manager or a group of managers. It is also possible that there is a hierarchy within the business where a manager is the subordinate of a higher-level manager.

Following the CEO are the vice president and upper management employees who report directly to the CEO. Then, there are department managers and supervisors who report to the higher-level executives.
