Creating Span of Control 5 Managerial Archetypes

Emphasizing on the target number of the direct reporting on the actual work completed by the team under a manager yields the best outcome in a span of control. To successfully adopt this model, the paper proposes 5 distinct managerial archetypes to act as the standard or guide: Player, coach, supervisor, and the coordinator. The 5 archetypes cover spans that ranges from 3 to 5 and to more than 15 direct reports for every manager. These ranges give the opportunity for flexibility in strategy and execution since every individual has own managerial capabilities.
