気付きノート

 先日から幹部が「気付きノート」をつけています。何に気付き、どう行動したか。まだ始めてから間もないですが、毎日多くの気付きを私にもくれます。気付こうと気にすればするだけ、沢山気付きに出会えます。日々、自分の業務に関係あることだけ考えていても会社はよくなりません。日々気付こうと意識を変えるだけで沢山のことに気付けるのです。”なぜだろう””これで本当によいのどろうか”と素直な気持ちでもの事をみる習慣をつけてください。そうすれば自然と気付きが芽生えます。その小さな気付きの積み重ねが未来に繋がります。幹部だけでなく、皆さんもそういう姿勢で日々を勉強、勉強という気持ちで取り組んでください。

 ブログに対して社員がコメントをくれます。その中で、「重要なのは反省することではなく、行動することだ」と気付いたというメールがありました。そのことに多くの人が気付いてくれました。とてもうれしいです。その通りです。反省ならば誰にでもできます。気付いたら即行動をお願いします。

Notes on Things I Noticed

The other day, our managerial staff began keeping a log of things that caught their attention and what they did in response to what they noticed. Although they have only just begun, they have already noticed and pointed out many things. If you but decide to pay attention, you will come across many things that catch your attention. If it not good for a company to have an employee think about only his own department. Please look at things from an unbiased point of view and ask yourself, “Why is this the way it is?” “Is this truly a good thing?” If you do so, awareness will naturally sprout. All of the little things you notice now are connected to the future. [Therefore,] I ask that everyone, not just the managers, take on this spirit of daily study and like the managers work at paying attention to what is around you.

The employees send me reponses to my blog. Within the many responses I received was one in which the employee wrote about something he had come to realize, that is: “Reflection is not what is important. Action is.” Many employees seem to have realized this [and this makes] me very happy. It is true [that reflection is not what is important. Reflection is something that anyone can do. [But] I ask here that you act immediately on what you see.
