It can be tough to know how many direct reports are too much and how many are too little?
* Are you able to invest in each of them to the degree you want?
* Can you give them appropriate time, energy and attention needed to influence their behavior?
* Do you feel like you have the capacity to hold them accountable?
* Are you able to schedule enough time on your calendar for each of them so they feel supported in their role?
Everyone's leadership capacity is different and only you can know that right number which maximizes your strengths and also allows your direct reports the right amount of oversight.
