What is Upper Management?

Upper management includes individuals and teams that are responsible for making the primary decisions within a company. Personnel considered to be part of a company’s upper management are at the top of the corporate ladder and carry a degree of responsibility greater than lower level personnel. Upper management members are imbued with powers given by the company’s shareholders or board of directors. Examples of upper management personnel include CEOs, CFOs and COOs.

Understanding Upper Management

Shareholders hold a company’s upper management responsible for keeping a company profitable and growing. Shareholders do this by exercising their voting power to install boards of directors that will fire underperforming or otherwise disapproved managers. Because upper management personnel members are often not seen by most employees, they are not expected to engage in day-to-day operations.
