亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
Take the beginnings of our present industrial system. There was no indication of how it would grow. Every new advance was hailed with joy. No one ever thought of "capital" and "labour" as hostile interests. No one ever dreamed that the very fact of success would bring insidious dangers with it. And yet with growth every imperfection latent in the system came out. A man's business grew to such proportions that he had to have more helpers than he knew by their first names; but that fact was not regretted; it was rather hailed with joy. And yet it has since led to an impersonal system wherein the workman has become something less than a person--a mere part of the system. No one believes, of course, that this dehumanizing process was deliberately invented. It just grew. It was latent in the whole early system, but no one saw it and no one could foresee it. Only prodigious and unheard-of development could bring it to light.

白话
看看现行工业制度的起点。当时没人知道它会怎么发展，每一步新进展都受到欢呼，没人把“资本”和“劳动”当成敌对利益，也没人想到成功本身会带来隐蔽的危险。可随着规模扩大，制度里潜藏的缺陷都暴露出来。一个人的生意大到连帮手都叫不全名字，当时不觉得遗憾，反而高兴。可这后来导致了非人格化的制度，工人变得不像个人，只是系统的一个零件。没人相信这种去人性化是故意发明的，它只是长出来的，潜伏在早期制度里，没人看见也没人预见，只有巨大的、前所未闻的发展才把它暴露出来。
上下文
福特回顾工业制度的发展，指出去人性化是制度扩张中无意滋生的后果。

你的组织在扩张中，有没有不知不觉把员工变成了系统里的零件？
