Real-Life Application
Think of a school:
- Principal → Top management: makes key decisions.
- Heads of Departments (HODs, like Science or Maths) → Middle management: explain and organize the principal’s plans for teachers.
- Teachers → Lower management: teach according to the plan set by HODs.
Just as HODs coordinate between the principal and teachers, middle managers connect top bosses with daily staff.
