Rank sensitivity

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management Mumbo-Jumbo, 2006, pp 121-122 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most organizations are endeavoring to become flatter. The old Weberian idea of maximum span-of-control has been jettisoned except perhaps in the army. The idea was that no one leader/manager could possibly manage or lead more than seven (plus or minus two) people. So rank was logically and arithmetically and simply a function of a statistical formula.
