[Column] The Moment the President Leaves the Field is a Turning Point

I would like to introduce a column article.

The founder and president of the company, struggling to survive, suddenly realizes that the annual sales have reached 700 to 800 million yen. Up to this point, the growth has been centered around a sense of unity focused on the president's leadership. The key feature at this stage is the turning point where the president begins to step away from the frontline. In other words, it is also the time when the entrepreneur sheds the role of being the boss of sales and production and starts to challenge the responsibilities of being a manager. This turning point brings changes within the company, and the inability to adapt to those changes prevents them from breaking through the 1 billion yen (with 30 employees) barrier. The speed of a company's growth is significantly faster than the speed of individual growth. Moreover, the growth of the entrepreneur is notably faster than that of the employees, which creates distortions in a growing company. The president tries to challenge the core responsibilities of management but begins to have concerns about their vision and the capabilities of veteran executives. Various countermeasures are taken, but the entrepreneur becomes frustrated with the dilemma of things not going well. In summary, it is the desire of the entrepreneur to create a company that truly resembles a company, along with executives who cannot adapt to this and the internal systems and strategies that are not functioning well, that obstruct the barrier of 1 billion yen.
