《每日原则》:  要认识到机构规模过大会对建立有意义的人际关系构成威胁

当公司只有我们几个人时，我们之间建立了有意义的人际关系，因为我们相互了解、相互关爱。

随着公司的发展壮大，员工人数达到50—100人，我们就像一个社区。

规模再大一些，社区的概念也开始淡化，因为我们之间不再同样的了解彼此。

那个时候，我认识到， 把员工按每100人（依共同的使命）分成一个组（部门），是建立有意义的人际关系的最佳方式。

较大的公司往往人情味淡一些，这是我们必须应对的另一个挑战。

When there were just a few of us, we had meaningful relationships because we knew and liked each other. When we grew to between fifty and a hundred people, we had a community; when we grew beyond that, the sense of community began to slip because we didn’t all know each other in the same way. That’s when I realized that having groups (departments) of around a hundred (give or take about fifty) that are bound collectively by our common mission was the best way to scale the meaningful relationship. While bigger companies tend to be more impersonal, that is just another challenge that has to be figured out.
