That's almost correct. What you describe is true for the relationship between CEOs and the board. Or execs and other execs, neither over, nor below them, in the management structure. Those are corporate peers.
For those under your management the relationship is more similar to a military command structure.
Luckily corporate officers can't order you to kill or die. But corporate underlings don't elect their managers. There are many more people being managed, than there are peers.
