Applications/Examples of results
To enhance the overall strength of an organization, reporting, communication, and consultation (known as "Hōren-sō") are essential. When problems arise, trying to handle everything on your own can lead to delays in response and the escalation of issues. Unfortunately, rather than prioritizing "customer first," "company first," or "company's credibility first," the mindset often defaults to "myself first" or "I am the most important." Hōren-sō has three important roles, and it is crucial to understand its purpose and significance. 1. Smooth operations Share necessary information to enable accurate judgment and prompt responses from superiors. 2. Improvement of work capabilities Organize thoughts through reporting and consultation, and learn from others' opinions. 3. Strengthening teamwork Understand the perspectives of others and the company's overall goals, while being aware of your own role and responsibilities. Hōren-sō is not just about information transmission; it is a mechanism for growing people and organizations. To change yourself, change the rhythm, and change the flow, let’s transform the entire team into "excellent reporters." Next time, I will share "Leaders Should Look Ahead."
