[Column] Common Organizational Management Issues in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

I would like to introduce a column article.

I am also involved with many small and medium-sized enterprises, and the themes that are problematic in their organizational management are often common. Here is one example: 1. There are no goals or standards set, and no common objectives. 2. Goals are set, but many are baseless mental targets. 3. Progress on decisions made during the month is not monitored. 4. Playing managers are managing while also performing general duties, leading to strain. 5. Because capable members are made to do everything, there is an imbalance. 6. Different ways of working among individuals hinder efficiency. 7. Basic actions such as reporting and communication are not being performed. 8. The management policy is not specified, making it unclear what needs to be done. 9. Few people take initiative; most only act when directed by playing managers. 10. There is a lack of understanding of how to manage. 11. Only the planning aspect of P.D.C.A is executed, and evaluation is not being done. 12. There is an atmosphere of not following through even if decisions are made. 13. Playing managers do not have a grasp of their members' work. 14. There is a lack of a team-oriented mindset, among other issues. I believe many playing managers are aware of such problems.
