[Column] The Increase in Work is the Essence of Corporate Growth

I would like to introduce a column article.

Is this kind of situation not occurring in your growing company, where the number of employees is increasing? The essence of corporate growth is the increase in work. It is not the case that a company grows simply because the number of employees increases. The essence is that a company grows because the amount of work increases. If new people come in and can immediately handle the company's tasks, there would be no problem, but that is not the case. While the number of new employees increases, the upper management is too busy to provide training. However, since the number of employees is increasing, the workplace becomes chaotic, and work becomes concentrated on a few individuals, making them busier than before. A typical example of this is the manager. Managers ideally want to lead their teams, but due to a lack of manpower and being busy, they tend to get stuck in day-to-day operations. As a result, a vicious cycle develops, and playing managers become exhausted. This phenomenon is actually more pronounced in companies that are experiencing growth. In other words, while the company may appear to be growing, the reality is that only players are increasing, and the workplace is in a state of confusion like a kite with its string cut. There is no system to control people and teams, so the workplace operates like a collection of individual businesses.
