第２７３回 Workshop報告（２月１日）

≪FIRST HALF≫

35,000 times

“Life is a series of choices”, which is one of the adages by William Shakespeare.

It seems that we make up to 35,000 times decisions a single day, according to a study by Barbara Sahakian in Cambridge University. It is such an incredible the number of times. At the same time, I guess that “35,000” would not ring a bell for you guys.

Let me give you some examples:

  • What to eat for lunch.
  • What to say to colleagues.
  • What time you leave home, etc.

It goes without saying that there are a lot of options you need to choose not only very light things, but also difficult ones, conscious ones, and unconscious ones.

You should be tired by tons of decision-makings, so now is the time to reduce the number of times! I hope you can find a better solution to reduce decision-making times through the workshop.

Here are exercise and questions below.

<Exercise>

It is said that people make 35,000 decisions a day.

What kind of decision do you usually make a day? Please share

<Questions>

  1. What are your difficult decisions you have make in your life? Please share your experience and a reason why it was tough. (5 minutes)
  2. What are your criteria when you make a decision / choose an option? It would be depending on topics, so please share your idea whatever you want.

e.g.) money, time, others’ opinions, self-approval

  1. If you reduce the number of decision-making times, you can save some time and could be less tired. What could be done in order for you to get the number of times lower?

≪LATTER HALF≫

I have made this discussion topic based on the book “リーダの仮面” that I read over the New Year holidays. This book, written by Koudai Ando, the president of Shikigaku Co., Ltd., has become a bestseller.

In summary, the book emphasizes the importance of acquiring “five key mindsets to succeed as a leader”.

As long as you belong to a company organization, you are likely to be part of a department and work with boss, supervisors, subordinates, juniors, and seniors. For E’s members, sooner or later, you will take on a leadership role, I believe. So, I would like you to discuss what makes a good leader in this session.

The Five Mindsets as follows:

<Rule Mindset>

It is important to create clear rules and ensure they are followed. Without rules, suspicion and strained relationships can arise within the organization.

<Position Mindset>

Leaders need to look ahead from a high position and indicate the direction of the organization. It is crucial to clarify the leader’s position and the responsibility involved.

<Benefit Mindset>

Leaders and subordinates should build a relationship where benefits are shared. Evaluation should be based on results rather than processes, providing opportunities for subordinates to grow.

<Result Mindset>

Emphasize results rather than process and set clear evaluation criteria. This encourages the independence and growth of members.

<Growth Mindset>

Create an environment where members can grow, and leaders themselves must continue their own self-growth.

Do you respect your boss? If you don’t have a supervisor, it’s okay to refer to president or executives. Please explain why you do/do not respect them.

Are there any clear-cut rules in your workplace or team when it comes to work? Do these rules have a positive or negative impact? Share specific examples with the members.

What should a leader do to encourage the growth of their members?

What should a leader do to achieve a target or bring a success as a team? Please narrow down your answer to three key points when you share the question’s answer after the discussion.

The summary speech should be up to around 90 seconds.

*Here, a leader is defined as the head of a group leading around 5-10 people, such as a section manager or department manager.
