Translated from 日本語 • View original Since the state of emergency was declared this year, the movement of people has stopped. With the approval of the Pfizer vaccine, Corona is likely to calm down in the future. (Which one is it?)
This is because I am writing this on February 15th, but there is a time lag before it is published on the blog. At that time, the number of infected people increased again... I'm sorry if it was.
Everyone is working hard, but Japan's corona measures are disappointing in many ways
As for the corona countermeasures, Japan's corona response is like this title.
The number of bets in Japan is 3-4 times higher than in Europe and the United States. On the other hand, less than 1/20 of the infected people are infected. The West has not caused a medical collapse. In Japan, where medical care is theoretically unlikely to collapse, the field can be said to be screaming when medical care is in danger.
Everyone is working hard in their own way, and no one is slacking off, but they are not responding well.
It's strange, isn't it?
The reason is, but what is often said is...
- Corona is treated the same as Ebola, a category 2 infectious disease, so the burden on hospitals is too heavy.
- If you accept Corona, the number of other patients will decrease, so from a management point of view, private hospitals will not accept Corona easily.
- Japanese law that does not allow hospitals and individuals to take enforceable measures
- When politics tries to do something, the mass media drags its feet
And so on.
Experts explain a lot, so if you are interested, please take a look. It's interesting from a management point of view.
In fact, this is the same structure as "a company or organization where everyone is working hard but the overall results are poor".
Why Leaders Can't Do Anything in Bad Situations
If you are in a bad situation like Corona, no matter what you do, there is no perfect countermeasure. Therefore, the critic can complain about whatever the leader (in this case, politics) does.
If a state of emergency is not declared, "the number of infected people has increased because a state of emergency has not been declared."
If you put it out, you put it out, and "the economy has stopped due to the declaration of a state of emergency, and the number of people in need has increased."
Even if a vaccine is secured, "who will take responsibility for adverse reactions?"
In this way, if you do a negative campaign for vaccines and few people are vaccinated, "the partition is bad"
No matter what you do, you will be told negative things. Not only will you be told negative things, but you also risk being held accountable or sued.
In such a situation, the option taken by weak leaders is "not to do anything that causes controversy or significantly changes the status quo."
Normally, leaders who should look at the overall balance and judge and act in the big picture do not perform their functions for self-preservation, and as a result, the whole becomes stagnant.
Easy populism is dangerous
Previously, I wrote an article saying that important things should not be decided by majority vote.

As I write here, if you ask for a large number of things, you will often not be able to do what is really important.
However, if you always force it, everyone will hate it. This arrangement is difficult.
Leaders must maintain a state of convincing everyone by producing comprehensive results, even if there are temporary pros and cons.
It's not just about leaders
So far, I have been thinking about leaders, but in fact, the literacy of members is also important.
I will give an example from the perspective of member literacy.
Medium- to long-term and global issues of the environment and human rights. These are things that many people think must be done well.
It is not the United States, which is at the top of the economy, leading the discussion. Moreover, it is not China in second place, nor is it Japan in third place.
It is always the European countries that lead them.
I believe that the reason why Europe is able to lead the world without being short-sighted in medium- to long-term issues related to the environment and human rights is because of the high literacy of its citizens.
The literacy of members in a company is based on whether they can think from the perspective of the leader, management, and overall optimization.
What is organizational management that accelerates literacy improvement?
There are two factors that improve literacy.
Knowledge and experience.
The most important measure to raise these is "openness".
You can increase your knowledge by opening up from the company. In addition, by opening up each member's behavior, experience is shared and everyone's experience increases.
Create a mechanism to promote two types of openness. This is very important for raising the level of the organization.
Leaders who have potential and are motivated by their members, but are not producing results.
