Anyone who has worked in any large organisation knows exactly what I’m talking about.

My current employment is the first time I haven’t see this, the Pareto Principle.

The reason for this in biology is two fold:

1. Growth is distributed evenly as necessary to fill the containing system whether it is employment numbers or peas in a pod.

2. Resources are distributed to where they are demanded. Higher productivity individuals will consume a disproportionate number of tasks to complete as well as available resources. This difference is often statistically insignificant as a base difference but after compounding 20% of individuals account for 80% outputs and inputs.

Human behavior accounts for the same compounding because numerically growth distinction is similar enough.
