素直＝行動
悪いと思ったらすぐにやめる。良いと思ったらすぐに行動をする。それが素直ということです。悪いと気づいているのに、黙認してやり続けていたら困ります。せっかく気づいたのにそのままにしていたら悪くなる一方です。どうしてできないのかを考えるのではなく、どうやったらできるのかを考えて行動をしてください。会社のせいでも、周りのせいでもありません。時間も２４時間みんな一緒です。全て自分次第です。マイナス思考ではプラスは生まれません。いつも前向きに、素直な気持ちを忘れずに、『悪いと思ったらすぐに止める、良いと思ったら行動する』ようにお願いします。
新入社員が１週間の研修に出かけています。先日、１人も遅刻することなく、朝５時に元気いっぱい出て行きました。１週間で、きっと多くのことに気づいて帰ってきてくれると思います。
部下は上司で決まるし、上司を見て変わります。上司、リーダーはどれだけ部下に仕事を任せられるかです。自分でやってしまうことは簡単です。でもそれでは部下は伸びません。失敗をしてもやらせなければわかりません。失敗して悔しい思いをすることも大事ですし、できて達成感を感じることも大切なことです。日々の積み重ねが半年後、１年後、３年後を決めます。上司はそれを考えてしっかりコミュニケーションをとってください。
Unprejudiced Obedience = Action
If you see something you think is bad, immediately put an end to it. Conversely, if you think something is good, act on it right away. This is “unprejudiced obedience.” Those who notice that something is wrong but out of laziness do nothing about it are problematic. Even if you take the effort to notice what is around you, if you do nothing about it then the problem will only get worse. [Therefore,] instead of thinking, “Why didn’t this work?” instead think about what you can do to make something work. It the fault of neither the company nor of those around you. Everyone’s day is limited to 24 hours. All things are up to the individual. Positives cannot be born out of negative thinking. [Therefore,] I ask that you not forget to always look forward and, with an obedient heart, remember to immediately what what you think is bad and act on what you think is good.
The new employees are currently away on a week-long training course. Despite a 5am departure time, all of the employees were on time and full of energy. I am certain that they will realize many things throughout this week and will come back changed people.
Employees decide their actions by watching those above them. I have a question for the managers: how much work are you entrusting to your inferiors? It’s easy to do things yourself but in doing so you limit the growth of those beneath you. Even if the employee fails, if he is not made to try something he will never understand how to do it. Failure and its accompanying feelings of frustration and embarassment are important, as is feeling a sense of growth or improvement. The work that accumulates each day decides what happens after 6 months, a year, 3 years. Managers, remember this and make sure to communicate with those in your departments.
