Improving the quality of relationships... Let's improve the quality of our relationships with the people we work with, the people around us, and the people we interact with!
Improving the quality of relationships.
To do good work, great work, and the best work,
human relationships are, after all, very important.
For example, some companies increase the number of one-on-one meetings,
publish internal newsletters,
and, in this day and age,
have systems on social media where people can post freely, and so on.
Why do they do such things?
Why do you think that is...
Of course, I think there are various purposes and meanings behind it.
For instance, in cases other than face-to-face interaction,
even for people you cannot actually meet,
it allows the reader to notice something,
or provides some kind of hint...
In fact, even when talking face-to-face,
it is truly difficult to convey something.
This is because the level and awareness of the receiver are all different,
and even for the same person, depending on their mental state at the time,
you never know how it will be received (laughs).
Unfortunately, there is no perfect answer to these things.
There is no such thing as a perfect way to communicate.
For example, in terms of techniques,
you might speak or write in a way that moves the other person's emotions...
use metaphors, or tell a story...
those kinds of things exist.
However, all of these are just one method, a means to an end.
Because the other person is also human and has emotions,
there are many times when communication is difficult.
Having felt that many times before,
I believe once again that it is important to improve the quality of relationships.
Raising each person's level and having each individual grow is,
of course, important, but just as importantly,
when working together,
the first step is to improve the quality of relationships.
I think it is extremely important for us to make the effort to do that every day.
This is because if the quality of relationships is low,
even if individual abilities are high,
you cannot do good work,
and you will not achieve the results that are expected.
Conversely, problems that would not normally occur
will appear one after another,
and you will end up spending your time on those.
There are many things we can do for each other
to improve the quality of our relationships.
If you don't know what to do,
for example, acting with a very strong awareness of the philosophy of the company you belong to,
or trying to practice norms and internal rules at all times
as you go about your daily life,
I think that alone is enough.
On top of that, when you speak or act,
try to imagine the other person's perspective, even just a little bit.
Of course, if you want to grow even further,
you should interpret things written like this in your own positive way,
accept them honestly, and use them as hints and insights
while putting them into practice.
As with everything, there is no growth if you don't apply what you learn.
If you just learn and stop there, it's just self-satisfaction.
In work, in society, and in a company,
self-satisfaction alone is not enough (laughs).
I don't think this is limited to just work, but
what should I do to improve the quality of my relationships,
what must I do, and what do I need to change...
Let's think about those things and put them into practice every day.
(Today's Word)
・If you can no longer love people, everything becomes harsh, difficult, and lonely.
The same applies if you can no longer honestly accept love from others.
・Don't overthink it, just try taking action. Try acting proactively.
There are many things that only become visible because you take action,
and many things you won't understand unless you act.
・No matter the situation, you are living right here, right now,
you are being kept alive, and it is most important to accept everything with heartfelt gratitude for this great miracle,
and to live life to the fullest.
By the way, regarding the quality of relationships,
I think it's important not to overthink it,
but rather to try imagining the other person's perspective a little.
Assuming that the other person has feelings and that people are all different to begin with,
I believe that by observing the other person in daily life,
the words you choose to say to them will also change.
Either way, it's better to have
good relationships with the people you interact with, isn't it?
