“Many company starts and remains as a small business. Very few entrepreneur takes the second step, and would like or know to hire people not from family or friends to be known before."
(From "The Business Book")
The founders like to work with people adopting its thoughts and attitudes. The people to be hired after the foundation are generally the persons those are known, familiar and relatives. In this stage, some confidence, not existing in first stage, is developed. But this confidence is not enough to have confidence in foreigners. The founders developed an emotional commitment to employees those fought and persisted to grow and survive the baby business during initial stages. They are the employees whom the founders will feel fidelity for the life. In the forthcoming periods these #employees will be the ones the founder trusts in and wouldn't like to lose even if they fail, are be inefficient or damage the business. They may include persons from family or relatives, or any other individual hired during the foundation or joined at the second stage. These persons are named as "Stager Employees" in this book.
The fidelity formed between employee and the founder in this stage is mainly based on the concept of complying with the founder unquestioned. This concept is arise from the loyalty to elders and the chief in human psychology.
Stager employees (stagers) have done any kind of tasks with the #founder during the business' foundation stage, worked during the building of business or factory. So to speak, they know "every details of the business", locations of physical foundations, underground installations, where the pipeline running through the garden, where mains lines crossing etc.
#Stagers, generally and inwardly, feel arrogance and boasting against the employees those hired after them within the business. They are old, want to do tasks as they know, they are concerned if a new employee do tasks more efficiently with a different method, they are afraid of change and innovation. They act to avoid the newcomer to make her/him fail secretly or explicitly. Eventually, if cannot comply with, the newcomer leave or be discharged. And while acting in that way, they use the protection from the founder whom they are mutually loyal to.
