Unity of command refers to the principle that a subordinate should have one and only one superior to whom he or she is directly responsible. That means, on a hierarchic tree, there should be only one in the absolute command.

 

Chain of command is the line of authority and responsibility along which orders are passed within a military unit and between different units. 

 

Span of Management is the number of subordinates that a manger can efficiently manage. Number of subordinate directly reporting to a manager is known as span.
