[Column] Why is the speed of personal growth slower than the speed of company growth?

I would like to introduce a column article.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are under pressure and must take immediate action on human resource development as they grow and experience internal distortions. The growth of SMEs is proportional to the speed of growth of their management, but not to the speed of growth of their employees. The traditional development pattern involves assigning department heads and, if they fail, providing education, but one must realize that this approach is already too late at that point. When aiming for company sizes of 500 million to 1 billion, 1 billion to 3 billion, 3 billion to 5 billion, and 5 billion to 10 billion yen, it is necessary to change the gears of organizational management. In terms of scaling a business, just as elementary school students have food and clothing suited to their lifestyle and physique, and middle school students have food and clothing suited to theirs, the same applies to companies. No matter how similar the food is, an elementary school student does not need the same quantity as a growing middle school student. Similarly, if a company does not implement measures appropriate to its scale, it cannot operate healthily, and cracks will begin to appear everywhere. At this stage, where significant changes in steering methods are required, gaps within the company frequently occur.
