In other words, the levels of hierarchy involved where there is a wide span of control is few. As such, this structure entails that a large number of the team members report directly to the manager.

The narrow span of control is one in which the manager supervises or interacts with a few team members. In other words, there is some level of hierarchy involved such that the managers direct subordinates are few and have subordinates who report to them.

To state it in another way, the wider the span of control, the fewer level of report or levels of hierarchy and the narrower the span of control, the higher the levels of hierarchy required.

In light of the explanation above, it can be deduced that Jody has a wide span of control over her team.
