[Column] There is no system for managing the organization.

I would like to introduce a column article.

As the company grows, the workload increases, but an increase in personnel does not necessarily indicate company growth. Training new employees takes time, which can lead to decreased productivity and increased waste. Managers often find themselves overwhelmed with managing their subordinates and become engrossed in on-site operations, leading to exhaustion. This phenomenon is particularly evident in growing companies, where the company may appear to be thriving, but the on-site situation is chaotic. Due to the absence of a system for managing the organization, the company functions like a collection of individual enterprises. Each time the company hits a wall in its growth process, it is necessary to reassess the approach to management. During the startup phase, the president directly manages the operations, but during a period of rapid growth, the role of department heads becomes essential. Once the company enters a stable phase, an organizational chart is established, and departments are solidified; however, it is difficult for the president to step back from on-site management, resulting in many companies being unable to overcome growth barriers. The key points for management in growing companies are to ensure that the number of personnel and the rules and systems are aligned with the increase in workload, as well as for the president to shift away from an on-site-centric mindset and focus on building the company’s structure. Companies that wish to expand healthily must build management techniques appropriate to their scale.
