I don't know about a minimum but I think 10 is a good upper limit. Unrelated, I think that we should stop calling workers individual contributors. I think "workers" is a more fitting description. "Individual contributor" makes the worker seem smaller and less impactful, as if management is contributing in a way that's superior and bigger than the individual. In reality, only the workers work, and managers manage, doing less work the higher up on the ladder they go. Don't believe me? Here's a list of CEOs that somehow managed to be CEO of multiple companies at once. - Jack Dorsey - Jeff Bezos - Elon Musk - Carlos Ghosn And yet, my employer forbids me from having more than one day job.
