In everyday life

Ideal

We will present to the outside world the desired direction and vision. When we move forward with something with someone, it appears as a shared idea of ​​“which direction we are heading.”

  • Explain to the team the state you want to achieve and the direction of your activities.
  • Connect the meaning of the proposal to what kind of shape it aims to be.
We would like to aim for this state.

If you rely too much on presenting direction, it may be left too much up to the recipient to decide what specific criteria to use when making a decision.

Norm

You present standards that others can share and apply. When working with someone, you make clear what conditions need to be met.

  • In your briefings to your team, set common standards for decisions and actions.
  • When implementing the proposal, state in words the conditions and handling methods that each person can apply.
Let's make decisions based on this standard.

If we are biased towards presenting standards, it may become difficult to see the direction and purpose of those standards.
