Priya, as the director of the non-profit organization, holds a higher administrative and managerial position than both Miguel and Zhang. Miguel is the volunteer coordinator who reports to Priya, and Zhang, being an event coordinator, reports to Miguel. This places Zhang in a tier below Miguel with respect to the organizational hierarchy. In this hierarchy, Zhang cannot directly assign tasks to Priya. Assigning tasks typically flows downwards in hierarchy, meaning higher-ups assign tasks to their subordinates. Priya, being at the top of this chain, would not receive assignments from Zhang, as that would reverse the established flow of authority and responsibility. However, it is possible for Zhang to suggest tasks or request assistance from Priya through the proper channels, such as communication through Miguel, but not to directly assign tasks to her.
Priya is the director of a non-profit organization. Miguel is a volunteer coordinator reporting directly to Priya. Zhang coordinates events and reports to Miguel. In the context of their duties, can Zhang assign tasks to Priya related to upcoming events? Respond very briefly.
