A General Manager heads up a department of a company, eg General Manager,
Personnel, and reports to the Managing Director. I'm not sure of the correct
American terms but I think this equates to a Vice President. But of course each
company is free to come up with their own names. When you have people called
managers that don't have anyone reporting to them, senior managers who are
nothing more than supervisors, and company presidents that don't have any
control over their own business, titles don't really mean much.
