Correct span ratio of manager

Correct span ratio of manager

Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.
At the end of presentation was said "don't ever have 30 developers...". What is correct span ration of manager to follow these guidelines? I really like what was said and it basically follows "servant leadership" principles, but I think it just cannot be done correctly with bigger ratio than 1:20 (my experience - had 15-20, now 30+). Front line manager can struggle with this as span ratio is not his decision.
