General Manager
Business division head
A general manager (GM) oversees the overall operations of a business, division, or organization.
Unlike managers of specific departments, a general manager has broad authority across multiple functions—hiring, budgets, strategy, day-to-day operations.
In professional sports, the GM typically handles player acquisitions and roster decisions: The general manager traded two draft picks for a veteran quarterback.
In hotels and restaurants, the GM runs the entire property.
