Question

Leaders with a large span of control tend to display more consideration and use more personal approaches when influencing followers. A. True B. False

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word ‘Span’, is translated as ‘scope’ or ‘interval’; although the literal translation is understood as: "the distance between the thumb and the little finger, when the palm of the hand is extended"; however, in terms of management and administration, it is understood as: the maximum Interval (maximum extension) or number of people that can be reached. Likewise, the word "Control" is understood as an ability to teach, revise, adjust or manipulate something once chosen as a requirement, choice or expectation; and administratively it refers to a ‘power’ of authority to direct, order or restrict (Collins English Dictionary).
