Similar solution within the iterative macro. I've actually recently had to build this kind of HR Hierarchy for a client and I've ended up createing this kind of iterative Macro within a Batch Macro so the user can select a list of employees to see their entire HR Tree for. Fun project!
In response to @siddhartha_s comment about creating a visualisation of this hierarchy. What you need to do is think about the visualisation as an x_y coordinate plot and find out where each person would be plotted. You can do this simply by finding the median of the hierarchy level, to position them along the y axis. Their position along the x axis can be determined by their level.

Went through the recording of the live training on iteration macros before I could do this challenge as I have not worked with iterative macros yet. After much trial and error, my macro is pretty much the same as the solution provided. I did, however, add a section to my workflow that sorts the employees by their hierarchy (lowest to highest). These macro challenges are quite the brain-teaser :)
Wow, I really struggled with this...I had to look at the solution to figure out where I was going wrong...
Well that wasn't at all quick and required a peek at the solution. But I got there in the end.
