[Column] Leaders must communicate and ensure understanding of their value judgment criteria.

I would like to introduce a column article.

The company is a human zoo, designed to fail. The characteristic of a typical organization is that people with similar values gather together. For example, in the world of sports or hobbies, various organizations are characterized by the gathering of people with similar values. In small and medium-sized enterprises, people with different values based on their upbringing, likes and dislikes happen to live in the same area and accept the conditions to form an organization. Because people with differing values, backgrounds, generations, and genders come together to create an organization, it tends to be less cohesive. Therefore, it is important for you as the team leader to communicate and ensure understanding of the value judgments you are considering. If a system is created, it can initially be driven by the power of the team leader. However, if the sense of being forced to do something becomes strong, it will not last long. What is important is to teach perspectives and ways of thinking such as: ■ Why are we doing this? ■ Why is this perspective necessary? ■ Why does this happen? ■ What should we do in this situation? Without addressing these questions, it will not become a habit. *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related links. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
