In the early days of a company and throughout the life of small businesses, a single person or handful of employees might find themselves doing virtually everything, from production to marketing to accounting and compliance.
But as companies grow and become more complex, it’s necessary for staff to specialize, and larger businesses necessarily have an accounting department, a marketing team, a compliance group, etc.
The downside of this specialization is that employees sometimes begin to see the world in terms of their team or department first and the overall organization second.
