Sandbox in comfort zone

Wherever no rules, establish one.

Interestingly, small to middle size companies usually did not have concrete and proper rules in all aspects. Some claimed a big company, but experiencing the same. Is it a real large company could be more formulated, with clearer directions and road map for staff to follow? Apologize for my narrow horizon.

The good is, in SME, you can have more opportunities to try your knowledge in order to prove they are practical. I would term this a sandbox in the comfort zone. Bottom line is, your trial will not bring your company down or create lost. 

You can try different management skills, procedures, methodologies, etc. Because, companies usually did not impose proper standard to deal with problems, or projects, in different situations. You can try what you have learned in whatever extent. Still, bottom line is to get things done. Though learning curve will not be steep enough, but you are still learning. It would be good for you to prepare your next step on your career ladder.

Second, if the way that you tried is good. You can make it as a standard in your managable areas. That is what we called, establish one for yourself when there is no rule.
