今を見る
テレビのニュースで、イチロー選手の話題がありました。日本代表として数十人の仲間達とキャンプを行い、プロ野球選手として身体を張っています。皆に幸せ、夢を与えてくれています。
週に一度の休み、イチロー選手はキャンプ地が雨だったために、わざわざ別の場所へ行きひとりで練習をしていました。普通、休みの日は家で休んだりします。プロとアマチュアの違いを感じました。アマチュアは、一生懸命やれば、結果が出なくても、それでいいのです。しかし、プロは絶対に達成します。結果が出るまでやり続けます。必ずやります。ジットも、プロです。アマチュアはいりません。
男女の役割、バランスの問題があります。父親・男性は、強く、恐い存在です。母親・女性は、優しく、現実を見ます。父親・男性とは、自分がいなくなった時に、子供たちに一人前の人生を歩んで欲しい、将来を幸せに過ごして欲しいと願いっているからこそ、厳しくなるものです。建て前の優しさはいりません。
今、ジットの売上は上がっていませんが、人員は増加しています。特許の部署、人事、総務、どの部署も、あれば良いかもしれませんが、本当に必要かどうか。携帯電話がなかった時代は不便でしたが、今、あれば便利でも、本当に必要なのかを考え、見直さなければなりません。人も、部署も同じです。絶対になくてはならない人、必要な部署だけを残していきたいと私は考えています。
パートさんでも、どうすれば品質が上がるのか、どうすれば早く作業ができるのか、考えながら作業をしてくれている人がいます。感謝いたします。皆さんも、こうしたパートさんを見習って、自分自身を見つめなおしてください。
不安と期待は同じです。期待があるから不安があります。今を全力投球し、今の現状を改善改革して行動することが大事です。 今を、自分自身を、現実を、素直に受けとめて気づくこと。つまり経営理念を心に浸透させていくことをお願い致します。
Look at the Present
Ichiro, the main topic of news recently, brings hapiness to everyone. As a representative of Japan, he recently held a camp with several of his friends; moreover, as a professional baseball player, he continuously strengthens his body. Whereas normal people would rest at home on their day off, Ichiro uses his one day of vacation a week to train. If the usual camp is rainy or muddy, he will simply find a different place to train. You can really feel the difference between the pros and the amateurs. Amateurs are those who figure that trying with all one’s might is enough, even if there are no results from their efforts. However, a pro will absolutely achieve his goals. He will persevere until he can see the results of his work. JIT is a pro company. We have no use for amateurs.
There is a problem in the balance of male and female roles. Whereas men are strong and frightening, women have a gentle outlook on the world. Men are strict with their children in order that the children will be successful and happy even after the father is gone. We have no need for caring.
Currently, although JIT’s sales are not increasing, our workers are. Yet while it would be nice to have more people in our patent department, or HR, or any department for that matter, is it truly necessary? While there were many inconveniences before cell phones were developed and while they are useful, we need to stop and think whether they are truly necessary or not. People and departments are the same. My feelings lately are that I want to save only those people and departments who are absolutely necessary. Even our part time workers think while they are working of ways to increase sales or do their jobs faster. For this I am thankful. Everyone, please look at these part-time workers and follow their example.
Fear and hope are the same thing. It is because one has hope that one feels anxious. It is important for us now to go forward will all our might in our struggle to improve the current situation. We will grateful accept our current situation, ourselves, and the present reality. In other words, I ask that we bury in our hearts the company creeds and principles.
