Chapter 8
As the Author says, I think that to find something to celebrate is quite important to change the undesirable situation or atmosphere. So every time I try to look things carefully and find those things.
For example, when we play games, it is necessary to get and keep good atmosphere (in Japanese, NAGARE). And to get it, we need at least to be happy or cheerful even though the situation is not so good. But as you know this is very hard to be achieved. Then, what I usually do is to praise a player for his wonderful play. Or even though players are in the bench, I try to praise them for their cheerful voices and use them like "thank you your boosts! Hey guys, we should win in order not to waste their support!!"
For me and most of us, to celebrate the major successes is easy because they are obvious for everyone and everyone can celebrate. Of course I think it's very important to keep good condition of the organization. But I want to be a leader who can notice the very small action or behavior of my members which others couldn't recognize. Without care, it is too difficult to notice, but I think we can do it by having a broad viewpoint, which is necessary for leaders. And if I fail to notice small things, I have to reflect on myself, have to re-think about my behavior.
In conclusion, I want to say that to celebrate major and minor thing is necessary for the success of the organization as well as for keeping a good atmosphere. In addition, in order to celebrate things, we need careful observation, which is essential for leaders. That is, to see the things carefully and respond correctly is what leaders have to do and this is the key of successes of organizations.
P.S.
Thanks for my seniors, even though I couldn't do what I said above, our team's atmosphere is extremely good!!

I agree with your opinion about the leader.
返信削除And I think you have a clear vision about a leader, and you are trying to be such a leader (captain of your baseball team)very hard.It's very nice!!
Hi Yasu,
返信削除I like what you say, especially this part:
"In order to celebrate things, we need careful observation, which is essential for leaders. That is, to see the things carefully and respond correctly is what leaders have to do and this is the key of successes of organizations."
Good observation is difficult to do, but so important as you suggest. And to react quickly and with good timing would be other elements to this as well.
Good thoughts—thanks.
