Answer 1

Did you try to use recursion?

Answer 2

Something like the following?

object RecursiveCall(Collection collection, object itemToFind)
{
    foreach(var item in collection)
    {
        if(item == itemToFind)
        {
             return item;
        }
        else
        {
             RecursiveCall(item, itemToFind);
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

private IEnumerable<Employee> RecursiveGet(Employee durr)
{
  foreach(var sub in durr.Subordinates)
  {
    yield return sub;
    foreach(var recurse in RecursiveGet(sub))
      yield return recurse;
  }
}

Answer 4

Go for an implementation of recursive technique for this.

PSUDO:

  private List<Subordinate> GetSubordinates(Subordinate you){
        List<Subordinate> subs = new List<Subordinate>();
        if(!you.HasSubordinates){
              return subs;
         }

         foreach(Subordinate s in you.Subordinates){
            subs.AddRange(GetSubordinates(s));
        }
  }
