Final blog

Firstly, I mentioned about chapter 16.

"Accepting a level of incompetence."

When I started to work at restaurant, my boss said that "If you had questions, you should ask us. We have a responsibility to teach you. Also, you're new comer so it is not surprising you  don't know."

I asked a lot when I had some questions and troubles. It is not shame but the way to learn.

by accepting own ignorance, people can learn and achieve goal.


As author said, to achieve the ultimate level of skill,  you need to accept incompetence. By doing so, you can learn next task.

For everyone.

Thank you.
I enjoyed this class and learned a lot from you.

Im looking forward to next seccon!

First is love. Love gives me the inner peace, also I can give people calm by loving. So, as a daughter, sister, friend, and student, I will love people around me. I will do this by respecting them, accepting them, and staying together to make a better.

I finished my presentation!!! thank you.

Yumi asked me that "what is organization needs?"

I was really sorry not to  answer at that time.

Needs are depend on situations. because we face with a variable situation.
What I trying to say was that  volunteers need to understand what           organization want them to do and  Don't push your thought. 
If you good at playing soccer and think that "I want to tell this skill to      children", it is meaningless when there aren't programs related to soccer.

Important thing is knowing what is going on, and offer great flexibility.

it was my answer for Yumi. ;)

Business Communication Systems (AT&T)

Pat Russo who is president of BCN has great leadership to  cohere employees.

                                                      
















She didn't care about the rank of employees, and she encouraged them to propose the solutions and personal ideas. By doing so, she could collect many perspectives and information. It helped to rebuilt the organization.

Her personal sacrifice was remarkable.
Getting information from every employees, she set a line at her home and received the call at anytime.
Also, when she could't take a call, she surely called back.

Noted above was the most impressive action for me.

As author said, showing personal example is important to catch the members' attention.
Before giving order to employees, leaders need to practice by themselves.

Using these strategy, finally she succeeded in remake company.


Don't care about rank!
Give visible personal example!

Risk

"Be willing to take the Big Risk"

But, don't have to take chance if it is unnecessary.

In my experience, taking too mach chance bring failure. I had to find out that which chances are important and meaningful.
Shackleton avoided the impetuous move, so he and his crew could survive.




On the other hand, when risk is justified, leader shouldn't hesitate.

Taking risk create change. Under severe situation, "safe choice" has  few value.  When leaders recognize danger, they need to judge it and take risks so as to advance situation.


About LOG

1, Think about a risk you might take to improve the effectiveness or profitability of your organization. What does this analysis tell you about whether or not take the risk?


In my dorm, there are many food which people leave in the kitchen and social room.

Thus, head of management committee made new rule. if people leave personal stuff, it will be "take it free".
As a result, many people opposed to this rule, and dorm meeting was disturbed.

Head of management committee made new rule in order to dorm cleanness, but this rule is nearly-defunct and created cleavage.

In this case, we couldn't promote situation. We needed more discussion. However, by making new rule, people remind the importance of "dorm cleanness". I hope it has some meaning!!


Mr. Kitashiro's speech

I enjoyed Mr. Kitashiro's speech.

The most impressive words is

"Don't get angry with the bad news. if you got angry, people will never bring the bad news."



I think this tips is very important, because leader need to encourage members in the organization.


Also, 自由闊達ATM is interesting.
I think when leader faced with difficulties, positive attitude would help them and their organization.

Nervousness is spread. Positiveness is also spread. So it is clear that be positive is better!

Lighten up!

In difficult situation, it is important to laugh, celebrate, and have humor. The reason why these elements are important is that  these are influence on coming out of depression, viewing the problems calmly, decreasing fear, and rebuilding organizations to deal with obstacles.

Thus, leaders need to find something to celebrate and laugh, and they can bring humor into a tense situation.




We can use this strategy in our dairy live.
In my case, I often use it at the meeting, presentation, quarrel among friends and so on.
Also I feel ability to make people laugh and relaxes is important. Please imagine the situation of the presentation. Even if presenter make good powerpoint and contents are excellent, audience will be bored if S/he present seriously. So humor is one of the effective tools.

ABOUT LG

Yes, we(about club activity) celebrate after achieving our goal. After the performance, we hang out with members and eat good meal.
And often have fun time when "small wins" are happened. By doing so we can  keep concentration.
Also, our organization is very playful, always somoone make people laugh.

Core Team Work

What I learned are

1,impartiality is important for team.  Al members need to respect each other (However, hierarchy itself is not bad).

2, Leaders shouldn't gain special privilege. For instance, Scot didn't talk to the ordinary members, and it created their anger.

3, Leaders need to apologize when they make mistakes. By doing so, they can raise their credibility.

4, Respecting each other is important for teamwork. It creates social interaction.


I know teamwork is necessary for achieving the goal.
when I go to club activity and committee, I strongly feel teamwork's demands. And teamwork needs to respect each other. If you act selfish, team wouldn't become one.



Log,
5, When was the last time you made a personal sacrifice for the benefit of the team?

Last week, I and dorm members decided head of committee. I wanted to become head of accounting committee, but we need to head of checking committee from 2nd year students, because 2nd students have never became this committee's leader. When elderly students quit committees, younger students don't know how to deal with problem, so we have to choose a head from 2nd students. Finally, I became a head of checking committee. it was the latest my self-sacrifice experience.
