what is the ideal ratio between a manager and its subordinate?
Q. What is the ideal ratio between a manager and its subordinate? I've read Harvard Business Review a few years back, they researched it and mention 1:10. I just want to reconfirm this. Is 1:10 ideal?
Asked by Jessica H - Mon Feb 25 01:55:35 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Despite all the current negative publicity, the military usually has a pretty good fix on these things and the ratio seems to be dependent on ability, or in this case rank. In the army two "fire teams" of four of five men report to a "squad leader". In Britain, as well as the United States, he is an NCO; However, they use the title "section leader". The Marines have three "fire teams" of four men each reporting to a commissioned officer. Because most business agendas rarely include advancing on a redoubt or fortification, I would say the HBR ratio is more of a minimum and was probably influenced greatly by this standardized military organization. Good Luck.

What should my ideal weight be? What is the best way to reach and maintain this ideal weight?
Q. I am a male, 53 years old. My height is 6'1", and I currently weight 210 pounds. 1) with my height and age, what should my ideal weight be? 2) what is the best way, probably using diet and regular exercise, to get to my ideal weight? 3) what exercises would be best to use to lose the weight?
Asked by Mike N - Sun Feb 24 15:02:55 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1) Google for a height and weight chart to see what the healthy weight range is for your height. 2) Your body needs a certain amount of fuel (food) each day to stay alive and do any exercise/activities that you're involved in. If you eat slightly less than this amount then your body will burn fat to make up the difference. If you eat way less than this amount, you'll go into starvation mode and won't lose anything. Figure out how many calories you need to eat each day to lose weight, how many extra calories you burn through exercise, and how many calories are in the foods you eat. You can do all of that here:
