Solution
- The span of control is the number of subordinates a manager is directly responsible for.
- Some companies also have an ideal span of control, which is the number of reports they feel a manager can effectively manage.
- In this case, if a manager has fewer reports than ideal, they may feel they are not being used effectively, while if they are handling more, they may feel over-stretched and that their reports will not receive enough direction.
