Chapter 44
Brielle maintained a calm and composed demeanor in her professional endeavors. Having
made her point, she fixed her gaze steadily on Max.
Max offered a slight smile, his slender fingers pausing their rhythmic drumming on the
table surface as he asked lightly, “And what might that be?”
Rising gracefully to her feet, Brielle cast her presentation onto the wide screen.
“The 80/20 Principle is something I’ve distilled from analyzing management systems at
several major corporations. Please, take a look at these charts.”
The attention in the room shifted towards the large screen, where a detailed summary was
displayed.
But what did it all really mean?
“I ran a number of simulations on my computer and found that the optimal span of control
for a manager is between 8 to 12 people. This allows them enough time to ponder
strategy without being too idle. The 20 here refers to the entry-level managers-they
should not have fewer than 20 people under them. Given that the tasks of ground-level
employees are more uniform, some companies even have situations where there are 50 to
80 people under one manager, preventing lower-level managers from being overtasked.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter finishing her explanation, Brielle flipped to the next slide.
“The 2N Rule is designed to prevent cliquishness within the company and mitigate any
factional sentiment. I’ve crunched some numbers from the HR department and found that
many individuals employed by Dorsey International in the past few ye
years had extensive work experience elsewhere. The 2N Rule permits an individual to
bring along only one colleague from their former workplace. More are welcome, of course,
but they would be assigned to different departments.”
As she spoke, a few brows furrowed, and someone couldn’t contain their irritation. “Brielle,
is there a point to this rule? Aren’t you just trying to splinter the company?”
Brielle’s expression remained unflustered as she switched the content on the screen once
more.
“This is the HR department’s personnel flow chart. If a department hires a new leader who
brings a bunch of people from their old department, when that leader leaves, those
individuals tend to follow, which is a significant loss for us. The 2N Rule effectively
prevents this from happening.”
The atmosphere within the conference room grew tense. Her words were simple and clear,
leaving no one in the dark about their implications, but her proposed principles threatened
to upend the status quo for many in management, and their displeasure was
1/2
evident.
Many of them had secured their seats through mutual support. If group alliances were
forbidden, their positions would be precarious. They gritted their teeth, their glares sharp
enough to tear Brielle apart.
Brielle felt her argument was not yet complete and added more.
“Perhaps Mr. Dorsey could afford all managers a year to find a suitable replacement for
themselves. If they fail, they should not be assigned new projects the following year. If
they still haven’t found a replacement after two years, they could be asked to step down.
This ensures that the management has a backup and that the departure of a high-ranking
staff member won’t paralyze operations. For instance, bringing me in to replace Spencer
was a very wise decision by Mr. Dorsey.”
She ended her speech with a subtle flattery towards Max, also hinting to everyone that it
was Mr. Dorsey who had placed her in her current position. Even if they resented it, they
would have to stew in silence.
After Brielle sat down, she looked openly at Max, confident and unshaken.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer last remarks had infuriated many. Additionally, everyone suspected that Brielle was
polishing her own image, considering her position was clearly orchestrated by other
members of the Dorsey family. How could Mr. Dorsey possibly have handpicked her!
“Ms. Haywood seems to be out of touch. Find someone to replace us? How does that
maintain our authority in front of the staff? You’ve just been promoted, so I bet
you still don’t know the first thing about managing people. My advice to Ms. Haywood is to
get some more hands-on experience at the ground level.”
Brielle responded with a smile, “Selecting a backup doesn’t undermine a manager’s
authority. After all, whether the substitute will take over depends on the commy’s
competency and values matrix, as well as the ABC principle.”
Her insinuation was clear. Were they questioning the directives issued by Mr.
“You!”
The objector’s face turned various shades as their lips quivered, ultimately silencin dissent
in frustration.
Outside the conference room, Tiffanie listened intently to Brielle’s statements, her
eye. lighting up with admiration. “Spencer, I may not understand all that she’s saying, but
fiancée seems to have more than a few tricks up her sleeve.”
