Question

A supervisor who has more than seven people reporting to him or her: select one:

Answer 1

A supervisor who has more than seven people reporting to him or her has exceeded an effective span of control and should divide tasks and delegate the supervision of some tasks to another person. When there are too many people reporting to one supervisor it can become overwhelming and it is easy for tasks and people to be pushed aside and overlooked. It is best to divide tasks up between other supervisors that have less people reporting to them.
