Translated from 日本語 • View original Inequality in the world!?
I think the world is basically unequal.
Some people were born into rich families, while others are poor. Also, each person's innate abilities will be different.
From a global perspective, peace is the norm if you were born in Japan, but the people of Syria today are threatened to live in peace.
As you can see, the world is often unequal as a result, but ISAO still values the concept of equality.
Equality of Opportunity and Equality of Outcomes Are Different
When I talk about things like this, I think there are people in ISAO who say, "But the representative, Nakamura, doesn't talk at the same level as all the employees," or "I don't think I have many opportunities."
But that's a different perspective from the equality that ISAO aims for.
Here I would like to explain what I think of as equality.
It is generally said that there are two types of "equality" in the world.
One is "equality of opportunity" and the other is "equality of results".
*In English, equality of opportunity is fair, and equality of results is even. This may be more suitable.
"Equality of Opportunity/Fairness" means that everyone has the opportunity to start something or take on challenges in the same way.
However, depending on the results, what is given as a result varies from person to person.
On the other hand, "equality of results/even" means that it doesn't matter what kind of process and what ability you demonstrated, and what is given as a result is the same. It's a communist way of thinking.
At ISAO, we value "equality of opportunity/fairness". I think it's very important to always maintain a situation where opportunities can be seized from any position.
How to Seize the Opportunity
So, does opportunity come to everyone equally?
The answer is unfortunately no.
Opportunities do not come equally if left unattended. After all, you have to grab it. The way to grasp it depends on the person's position and timing, but there is a basic spiral.
It is...
Work hard to do what you say Incorporate ⇒ challenges into your actions ⇒ Show your intention to advance your career ⇒ If you are given a chance, do your best again.
This is repeated.
In other words, I think it can be said that it repeats the "open" and "challenge" of ISAO Spirits.
Create an environment where you can seize opportunities
ISAO is a variflat organizational operation. At Bali Flat, you can talk to anyone without barriers.
Not only are there no restrictions, but we also try to create many opportunities for communication as a system, such as courage lunches, TGIF, and the release of business reviews.
At ISAO, if you spend every day with an open mind and a willingness to take on challenges, opportunities will always come your way. I want to continue to create such an environment.
