Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A narrow span of management means that the manager has fewer employees reporting to them, and a tall organizational height means there are multiple layers of management between the top-level executives and the front-line employees. This creates a more hierarchical structure, with more opportunities for micromanagement and direct supervision by the manager.
