Case Interview Prep

Answer: A - Lower management will typically focus on shorter-term projects and goals and maintain a primarily internal focus (within the department or organization).

Key Takeaway: Most managers will start at the lower management level and will work their way up based on performance. Lower management is usually assigned to deal with day-to-day priorities within a specific responsibility realm. As the manager progresses up to middle or top management, their focus will become increasingly external and longer-term. Often, the skills required to succeed at one level of management are not necessarily the same skills required to succeed at a different level.
