Dear friends,
I would be glad if you could provide me with the answer to the following question: how many people does a secretary supervisor usually manage?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I don't think there is a "usual" about such a post. The number of people such a person would supervise would depend upon the size of the company and how it is structured. Some companies and organizations may work on the principle of X-number of supervisors to Y-number of supervised or, as in my company, the number of people needed to do a particular job.
You may get a more useful response from other DD posters if you provide some more information: the industry you work in and the location (not necessarily precise location, but something along the lines of "Tennessee" or "England" would be help).
Best wishes,
Raindance

I'm the leader for 9 administrative assistants, I don't like to use the term 'supervisor' but I am responsible for coaching, training and development.

In a previous position I supervised 17 administrative positions - that included hiring, firing, reviews, counseling, promotions, training, budgeting, the whole nine yards. I did that for two years, spread out from east to west coast of the US. Based on that experience, I have a definite opinion that supervising 17 people is about seven too many! If they had all been in one or two locations, instead of 10 different cities, then it would not have been a problem.
