[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) have no leeway, and they must take action on human resource development in a state of urgency as they grow and distortions arise within the company. The growth of SMEs is proportional to the speed of growth of their management, but it is not proportional to the speed of growth of their employees. The conventional development pattern involves assigning department heads and, if they fail, providing education, but one must realize that it 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, it is necessary to change the gears of organizational management. In terms of scaling a business, if we look at it from a human perspective, elementary school students have food and clothing that match their lifestyle habits and physique, while middle school students have food and clothing that suit theirs. No matter how similar the food is, elementary school students do not need the same quantity as growing middle school students. Similarly, companies must implement measures appropriate to their scale; otherwise, they cannot operate healthily, and cracks will begin to appear everywhere. At this stage, where a significant change in steering methods is required for various reasons, gaps within the company frequently occur.
