Managers who Can and Cannot Speak about Their Philosophy

I was taught that a manager is a priest.

If a new employee joins a company by some chance and works there until retirement, he or she will have been with the company for nearly 50 years.

The company's management, corporate philosophy, and ideology have a great impact on the lives of its employees. That is why I believe that managers are priests.

A manager is responsible for the employees and their families, and influences the lives of many people.

Musicians create the "sound" of the times. An architect creates the "form" of the times. A painter creates the "color" of an era. What does a manager create in an era?

Without a doubt, it is the "people.

What do companies and stores have in common that will grow?

The common features of a group that grows both in a company and a store are: a sense of gratitude, the same sense of crisis, a common sense of values, confidence and trust, and a high level of desire.

I was taught that "a Buddha is created but his soul is not put into it.

Many companies and stores are like that.

There are many such companies and stores.

Such organizations may grow for a short period of time through marketing and the surrounding environment, but then they will decline.

Whether or not managers are aware that they are responsible for the lives of their employees and store managers are responsible for the lives of their part-timers? This is important.

Depending on what kind of company, what kind of philosophy, what kind of store, what kind of philosophy, what kind of manager, and what kind of manager, a person's life will change depending on what kind of company, what kind of philosophy, what kind of store, what kind of manager, and what kind of life they work with.

But on the other hand, it is also true that an employee's life is not the personal property of the manager.

I have seen this to be true for a long time.

There are times when former employees whom I know well have been taken care of by other companies and have become like a changed person, for better or worse.

Every time I have such an experience,

I am reminded that human beings are creatures that are influenced by their environment.

It is not enough to say, "Young employees these days quit too soon. It is not enough to say, "Young employees these days quit too soon. Rather than betraying them, we should choose to be betrayed, and discuss our lives with them in earnest. We must care about our employees as we care about our own children. Provide advice not only on work, but also on their personal lives.

I believe that such a company and its people will grow.

The philosophy of a company is the very way of life of its management.

It can be sublimated more and more from the foundation.

That is how it should be. The sense of unity of a company is created by its "philosophy.

It is important.
