In this broadcast, we discuss the theme of "how to instill a philosophy" in order to realize an organization in childcare facilities where staff can work proactively and vibrantly.
**"How to instill a philosophy"** is the theme of this explanation.
■ Review of the previous session: Key points for creating a philosophy
A vibrant childcare center is one where staff act proactively and feel joy while working.
However, simply saying "do whatever you like" can lead to conflicts due to differences in values.
Therefore, a "philosophy" is needed to serve as a standard for organizational decision-making.
It is important not to use abstract words, but to **"break it down to the level of action."**

■ This session's theme: How is a philosophy instilled?
The "key points for instilling a philosophy" discussed by Mr. Asakura are as follows.
① Share the "goal state" where the philosophy has been instilled with everyone
A state where each individual staff member can make decisions and act based on the philosophy.
A state where other staff members can also be convinced that "that action is in line with the philosophy."
A state where the background of an action can be explained, and everyone can understand it and say "I see."
② Making judgment errors is natural. What is important is a "system for thorough implementation"
Differences in judgment occur due to differences in experience.
However, if you dismiss it as "everyone is different," the organization will split, causing stress.
Thoroughly implementing the philosophy as a "common standard for judgment" becomes the foundation for protecting staff autonomy.
③ It starts with "sharing the philosophy" and "envisioning the state where it has been instilled"
First, everyone must have the same image of the goal.
Furthermore, align daily actions and decisions with the philosophy.
■ Announcements (within the broadcast)
In light of the social background requiring a review of childcare operations (declining numbers of children and childcare workers, rising prices),
we are currently holding seminars to learn the key points for future operational reform: "Organizational Development, Human Resource Development, Recruiting Children, and Multifunctionalization."
■ Summary
■ 1. What is a nursery where people work with vitality?
・職員が主体的に行動できる
・仕事に喜びを感じている
・価値観の違いで衝突しない
→ そのために「共通の判断基準＝理念」が必要
■ 2. Key points for creating a philosophy (Summary of the previous session)
［抽象ワード → 行動レベルへ変換］
例）「笑顔の子ども」
→ どんな表情？どんな状態？
→ 具体的に言語化して基準にする
■ 3. Today's theme: How is a philosophy instilled?
✦ Share the "goal state" of instillation with everyone
【理念が浸透した状態】
・理念に沿って職員が自分で判断できる
・行動の理由を説明でき、他者も納得できる
・周囲から「理念通りの行動だ」と見える
✦ Why is it important?
・「人それぞれ」になると分裂・ストレスが生まれる
・判断基準がない組織は主体性が失われる
→ 理念で「判断の軸」をそろえることが必須
■ 4. Steps for instillation
① ゴールの姿（理念が浸透した状態）を共有
② 日々の行動を理念に照らし合わせる
③ 行動の背景を説明できるようにする
④ 判断ミスは成長の一部として扱い、徹底して基準を共有
⑤ 全員で“同じ判断軸”を身につけていく
■ 5. The state of an organization brought about by instilling a philosophy
・判断が揃う
・互いの行動理由が理解できる
・衝突が減り、安心して挑戦できる
・主体的に動く職員が増える
→ 結果：いきいき働ける園になる
