Retail Management Pyramid Chart

This pyramid chart shows the management layers in a regional retail organization. The narrow top reflects a single president, followed by regional directors, district managers and store managers. Store associates form the broad operating base. A pyramid makes relative group size visible at a glance, so it is useful for an overview of organizational layers. Use an org chart instead when people need reporting lines, names or individual teams.
