I found it interesting that the author was making a case for 2-3 people for someone inexperienced. I've seen people claim that you need to give someone new to leadership a team of 4-5 people because it is so easy to drop into micro-managing if you only have a couple reports. I took on a lead role earlier this year and unless the 3 people on the team were all inexperienced or I had enough other things to work on, I don't think it would be enough. I do feel like my balance of attention is better with a couple more relatively autonomous people involved.
