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

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

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.” you
