It has gotten too big when the humanity has been lost.
The best companies or cities are those that make you feel alive or part of something special that is about people. (customers, co-workers, employees or the positive impact on others)
It is too big when you wake up and you can't remember the last time you took a day off .
For many people it is very difficult to delegate, this will turn the whole event sour. Many people have something to bring to a company, city etc that is beneficial. There comes a time that one person or small group of persons cannot run the entire operation, it is time to expand and trust others to come in and carry things further.
Having a rude awakening at tax time can be an indication that things have gotten so big ( hard to manage).
I don't favor the idea of down sizing unless it saves the company from extinction. I know of a few companies that made cuts in health coverage, products, overtime, etc and everyone kept their job.
By the way, I laughed when I saw airport. My first thought is that the airport isn't getting too big, it is our stamina that has shrunk!

Management will break down and business will not be taken care of.

I refer this question to one who knows, Mr. Bill Gates.

When they lose sight of who they serve, the customer.
