Below code shows how to create DirectedTreeLayout using LayoutManager

Model.cs
MainWindow.xaml

public class Employee
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string EmpId { get; set; }
    public string ParentId { get; set; }
    public string Designation { get; set; }
}

    public class Employees : ObservableCollection<Employee>
{
}

<!-- Initializes the employee collection-->
<local:Employees x:Key="employees">
    <local:Employee Name = "Steve" EmpId="1" ParentId="" Designation="CEO"/>
    <local:Employee Name = "Kevin" EmpId="2" ParentId="1" Designation="Manager"/>
    <local:Employee Name = "John" EmpId="3" ParentId="1" Designation="Manager"/>
    <local:Employee Name = "Raj" EmpId="4" ParentId="2" Designation="Team Lead"/>
    <local:Employee Name = "Will" EmpId="5" ParentId="2" Designation="S/w Developer"/>
    <local:Employee Name = "Sarah" EmpId="6" ParentId="3" Designation="TeamLead"/>
    <local:Employee Name = "Mike" EmpId="7" ParentId="3" Designation="Testing Engineer"/>
</local:Employees>    
<!--Initializes the DataSourceSettings -->
<Syncfusion:DataSourceSettings x:Key="dataSourceSettings" Id="EmpId"                               
 ParentId="ParentId" DataSource="{StaticResource employees}" />     
<!--Initialize the Layout-->
<Syncfusion:DirectedTreeLayout x:Name="DirectedTreeLayout"                               
                               x:Key="treeLayout"

                               SpaceBetweenSubTrees="20" />
<!--Initialize the Layout Manager-->
<Syncfusion:LayoutManager x:Key="layoutManager" 
                     Layout="{StaticResource treeLayout}"/> 
<!--Initializes the SfDiagram --> 
<Syncfusion:SfDiagram x:Name="diagram" Grid.Column="0" 
                     LayoutManager="{StaticResource layoutManager}" 
                    DataSourceSettings="{StaticResource dataSourceSettings}">
