What is a "human scale" organization?

“Human scale” isn’t about how much money you make, but about the incentive systems around your organization and how you get things done. “Small-or-medium business” didn’t really seem to cut it.

You might be working in a human scale organization if:

  • Your organization is not publicly traded, or owned by a publicly traded entity.

  • If asked to name every country your employees work from, you could answer correctly without looking it up. You can probably list them by state or city.

  • No one at your organization reports to an AI instead of a human supervisor.

  • You’re doing or making something that’s of value to someone, not just sitting back and watching your subsidiaries do the work, or owning things on behalf of a parent company.

  • If all of your employees and their families moved to a small town in the middle of nowhere, that town would not have just become a major metropolitan area.

  • You really care who you do business with. You want vendors and partners that make you better at what you do, not just someone who’ll check a box and give you some regulatory or political cover when things fail.
