This is what any business does and what you would do with your own growing business that you one day will no longer own too. You need defined roles with responsibilities and required skills that you can hire people to fill as people come and go in their own lives. Sucks to be a cog but cogs we are

no need to invoke concepts of stability, social contract or law; maybe just add some ref to obsequiousness for lit value here

Thank you for the assistance, “a mature” business would have been more accurate than “any”
