Org roles & reporting lines

A Company’s org chart is the tree of roles showing who reports to whom — and it’s what turns a pile of workers into a team that can delegate.

What you’ll learn

• How to build a reporting hierarchy in the 🏛 Org chart.
• Why a manager role gains delegation automatically.
• The limits that keep delegation safe.

Build the hierarchy

Open a Company and click 🏛 Org chart (under the Build it tabs). Each box is a role (e.g. “Head of Marketing”) filled by a worker.

1. Click a role to inspect the worker behind it.
2. Use + to hire an employee under a role, so a manager can delegate to them.
3. Drag roles to re-parent them as the team changes.

A coach helps on small charts

On a small or empty chart, a coach auto-appears to suggest roles for the kind of team you’re building — so you’re not staring at a blank tree.

Where delegation comes from

The hierarchy isn’t cosmetic. A manager role automatically gains the ability to delegate down to its subordinates, computed live from the chart. Talk to a manager — a role with reports — and they’re handed a delegate_to_subordinate tool listing their direct reports.

Capped and visible

Delegation chains are capped at three levels deep, and every tool call shows in the timeline — so you can always see who handed what to whom, and nothing runs away unwatched.

Recap

The org chart defines roles and reporting lines, and managers get delegation for free from the structure — capped at three levels and fully logged. Next, give the team something to aim at.
