If you're a middle manager, what is your goal? Is it to have as few reports below you, or as many?

If you're a middle manager then you're not a company owner. Your incentives depend on how well your company is being run on behalf of the owners.

If your company is run well, you're incentivized to do more with less. If not, then the opposite.

Shareholders want the CEO and Company to do the best job they can, and do it with the lowest employee cost possible
