Cascade down
Hello,
I want to ask a question. In the following sentence, what does the phrase "cascade down" mean?
The vice preisident and the general manager will cascade down their accountabilities by 12/19/03.

They will tell the people who report to them, and those people will tell the people who report to them, so that eventually it will reach every employee, coming from the person who supervises them directly. " PS - Welcome to English Forums!

The word that sounds weird to me in that sentence, however, is "accountabilities."

Thanks a lot
accountabilities here means responsibilities, I think
I found the meaning of "cascade down": rush down in big quantities, like a cascade
it seems that it has no meaning of "level by level", why?

At this point, it may still fall into the realm of business jargon.
I assure you, it's reasonably common business-speak.
"We will roll out this new intiative with a top-down approach, starting with the CEO and her senior staff, and they will cascade it down through face-to-face meetings until it's anchored in our culture." Really. They talk this way.
