Manger view subordinates items

Question

Is there a way to have say, the CIO, see all the items that their subordinates can see?
We have a site and a list in it, and we have it setup for people to see items they created or modified.  THere is a Manager field, from A/D to see their manager.  is there any way to TIE That to the subordinate to see what their people have created
or modified?
We have a Custom List and it is say on how moral is.
CIO - Bob could see the two managers below him:
IT Manager - Sue
IT Supervisor - Chris
Technical User - Abe
Abe would have Chris as manager, and Chris would have Sue and manager and Sue would have Bob as manager, if all setup in Active Directory correctly.
Abe says that Moral is "bad" and Sue would like to know about it.  There are other departments visible with other "C" level executives.  To filter this, would you need another column, like department to "filter?" 
If so, how would you ensure that they are not able to see others information?
Currently the list is only showing people who created and managed their own items and they can see it, unless they are in the security group to administer and manage the list.  users can't see others information.  What is requested is to have the
users MANAGER see their items as well.
We can allow "EVERYONE" to see, but how would we filter / restrict this?  Anything out of the box or custom code required?  I am assuming custom code, which is why I posted it to the development forum.
Could I do any logic with SharePoint Workflow that "If user is Manager" and Manager = .... wouldn't I have to build it out for EVERY USER?  As Sue wants to see people but I wouldn't know how to filter it to know who their manager is? 
It's like "If their manager is higher up or lower down in the AD "Chain" then allow access."  But that's more of a human thought than one that might be easy to code.
I hope my thought process hasn't affected anyone's ability to assist!
Thank you!

When I work on a library item within Dreamweaver it has no CSS styling because it is not attached to a style sheet.
All I want to do is view library in Design View items within Dreamweaver and not have several links to the CSS file in the final document.
Have a look at the Design Time Stylesheet (DTSS) feature in DW which was created for this very purpose.

DTSS means you can tell DW to open a Library Item in Design View and view it with CSS styling applied as if the <link> to the CSS file was present.
So you get the best of both worlds:
1) view a fully styled Library item .lbi file in Design View
2) no temporary <link> tags (as a workaround while editing) which must be deleted later
