Since Sofia is an assistant editor and Javier is an intern receiving guidance from her, it can be inferred that Sofia is responsible for Javier's work performance. As Sofia is his direct superior, she would be the one to evaluate Javier's performance. Carlos, being the CEO of the publishing company, is at the top of the organizational hierarchy and therefore has oversight of all employees, including Miguel. Although CEOs have the authority to give directives to any employee in the company, the specifics of how to edit a manuscript would typically fall within the expertise and job responsibilities of the editor, in this case, Miguel. However, if Carlos chooses, he does have the authority to instruct Miguel directly, as Carlos is the highest-ranking official within the company.
Miguel is an experienced editor at a publishing company. Sofia, who is an assistant editor, reports directly to Miguel. Carlos is the CEO of the publishing company. Javier has just been hired as an intern, and will receive guidance from Sofia. Who would be responsible for evaluating Javier's performance, and does Carlos have the authority to instruct Miguel directly on how to edit a manuscript? Provide a very brief response.
