Just my thoughts #0767

Action and behavior are distinct. Action is an immediate response to a situation’s demands, while behavior is a voluntary response driven by will and intention. So, which one is more important? Both are essential. There is a time to act and a time to behave. The best approach is for your behavior to follow what you started with action. Immediate action is necessary to achieve results, and behavior is needed to put your will into action with a specific purpose or goal. A person who acts easily is practical, while a person who prefers behavior is strategic. But if you don’t act, nothing happens. The world we live in gains meaning after its occurrence and its consequences. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The Japanese restaurant “Hyakushokuya” doesn’t hire passionate people. The first recruiter was someone who left his resume out. There are only three menus, and only 100 bowls are sold daily. It’s simple, so you can learn things in a week even if you’re not an expert. Still, the average daily revenue is 130,000 yen. The book titled “Let’s Reduce Sales” by founder Akemi Nakamura addresses performance-oriented management policies. They want reasonable management activities suitable for fractions without overdoing it. However, it was the best-selling company during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The Japan Airlines that no one thought would ever recover. It was the biggest corporate bankruptcy in Japan. When Kyocera Group Chairman Emeritus Kazuo Inamori took the helm to save Japan Airlines, his priority was to reform the mindset of the employees. Whenever he could, he gathered all employees for lectures on mental reform, and executives were required to attend a separate lecture on mental reform given by Kazuo Inamori every Thursday without exception. The employees' frustration was palpable, but the company returned to the stock market after two years and eight months. There is no magic in running a company. Attitude and mindset are everything. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
