The Square Root Sign

An interesting mathematical formula I came across recently

Linking the number of people in an organization with productivity

It states that the square root of the number of people in a domain

Is the number responsible for half of the system output, the rest remain

On the sidelines, contributing, but without much impact

The “square root” subset moves the needle, in fact

*

I doubt I am in the square root category

But that is exactly where I want to be

At work, I am quite productive, but still feel

My impact is not matched by my zeal

The painful realization has just descended on me

That I am but an industrious worker bee

*

My aim was to talk about an interesting concept

My place in my organization I did not mean to inspect

I shall, however, keep the square root in mind

That’s the number around which excellence is designed
