There are two, and actually three, styles of Management.
This guy represents The German style. The amount of seven coming from the military is more about the weapons needed in a Squat than based on leadership ability. Mist field sports are also about 7 plus minus two with even Soccer having 8 as the minimum to kick off a game as I just recently have learned.
The amount of humans one person can manage is a highly relative number depending on task, skill set of the team members and manager skills.
The German way of leading is most easily understood by looking at a restaurant kitchen. The cooks work on little notes that have the orders and run through then. That mrans in an office that a worker has a shared calender with his manager into which he gets time liens Set by his manager and he enters status updates.
As soon as using a Spreadsheet we are here into KM and my Cyberdeck Nexus can be the AI assistant to the manager overlooking the team members individual and overall progress.
The Spreadsheet is an individual list of needed tasks, action items and time lines. Each successful achieved step is automatically send to the Spreadsheet Dashboard of the Manager or involved team members as much as red flag warnings delaying the task, changing the timeline or completing an action item.
In the German style of Management the Manger then creates usually pressure points on the problem.
The other style is a Manager who awaits his team members being subject matter experts to approach him to fix problems they cannot fix by their position. Which can be buying computer equipment, adding outside resources, pushing other departments to deliver and even scheduling vacation at the right days. In this style the Manager needs more psychological, communication and especially administrative capabilities than subject matter understanding.
The two don't go along well ...
The third one is the one manager giving a fuck being busy social engineering their manager peers... so, you do what you want until being considered for promotion by any of that superiors to that manager. Then they all bite you where it hurts in Corporate World. Corpo P I.Gs. (personally inflicted greedies)
