Our 123rd Monthly Seminar covered the topic of “Effort” from the book “A Passion for success”, written by Dr. Inamori Kazuo.
Our focus for this seminar was to understand how to become a 5-star textile company in New York, using real-life examples from multiple industries, and defining what kind of effort they have put in in order to be considered a 5-star business.
One of the challenges for putting this seminar together, was to understand what a 5-star business is from our President's perspective. Another challenge was that we all have easy access to a large amount of information daily, and these information can have positive and negative aspects. It was difficult to sort out the information and figure out a perfect example of a company that can be relevant for our business and tie into our daily practice.
Through this seminar, I have learned that the concepts from Dr. Inamori’s book, can be applied to different examples of successful businesses. It made me realize what we have been learning through his philosophy and these business tips can be used in different industries, in different cultures, worldwide. These are universal concepts that seem simplistic, but actually has a lot more depth into it.
It was a great opportunity to facilitate the topic of effort this month, because we were able to define what we are currently missing, and at the same time overcome them by setting our goals for our next year of 2016.
From this meeting, we had opportunity to create our goals before the year ends, so we can put our efforts on the right track.
今回のテーマは、「熱意」。
世界で一番の激戦区、ニューヨークで「五つ星」の繊維会社になるためには、我々にとって何が必要か、そしてどうすれば5つ星を目指せるのか学びました。
またApple社、Swiffer社、Patagonia社、Michael Jordan氏、Ichiro 氏の事例を交えながら、彼らがなぜ超一流になれたのかを学び、来年の目標を立てることができました。
そして今回セミナーを担当させて頂いて気づいたことは、稲盛先生のフィロソフィーは、人種、言葉を超えて、世界各国の様々な業界でも当てはまるということです。
改めて「経営の原点十二ヶ条」と「六つの精進」というフィロソフィーの深さを気づかせて頂きました。
これからも「5つ星」を目指して精進して参ります。
