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.

Stamina

"It is a human tendency to be so concerned about the goal that all else fades into oblivion."(62)

This "Summit fever" should be taken care.
When I was a junior high school student, I did very strict diet.
　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　


Finally, I suffered from poor physical condition.
Too focused on losing weight, I didn't care my health.


I think it's very dangerous situation that leaders lose sight of organization's safety.
They have to keep rational perspective.

I would like to answer No.3
"Assess your emotional well-being and stress-resistance. Whom do you turn to when you need to vent?"


When I feel strong stress, I call and talk with my mother and certain friends to keep emotional well-being.
I deal with stress by talking my anxiety. I don't expect advices, but want they to listen.
This way has a good effect on my feeling.

How to deal with difficult situations?

Difficulties are not difficulties, It's chance to find new!

When you face with difficulty such as this picture, what do you think of that?

I would think that 

"Oh, Im lucky! I can roll through other way and maybe find good bakery! :)". Instead of "What bad luck!"

I think "Optimism" is the key to live life easily and deal with difficulties, as Shaw said on his blog.

Difficulties are difficulties, but it will be chance by changing your way of thinking.

So, as response of Ken's blog, I would change the difficulties to opportunity. It's a chance to grow.

Finally, I have a question.

As we discussed on last class, What is the bad point of optimism?

I want to know your opinion.

see you!

My sentence

She was a challenger. When she faced with difficulties, she tried to do everything.
