How to overcome the right argument that ruins an organization
Translated from 日本語 • View original

I will write about the "right theory".

Seiron is a term used to evaluate a theory that preaches reason as correct. It is rarely used for factual discussions or epistemology, and most of them are arguments about the right to "should be **". 〜From Wikipedia

There are many "malignant" theories used in organizations. Let's think about how to get rid of it.

The Right Theory of Benignity

The correct argument makes sense, so it is difficult to refute it properly.

By saying that, the correct argument that is used to shock the team in a good way and change it to a better direction at once is a benign correct argumentYou can say.

There is also the aspect that even people with low positions in the organization can give power to their arguments through correct arguments.

The Right Theory of Malignancy

On the other hand, if it is used in a way that stops constructive discussion, the correct argument will be malignant.

It is often the right argument that stops taking on new challenges, saying, "If you can't say there's no risk, you shouldn't do it" or "There's no reason why you have to do it right now."

In particular, when a person with power in the organization does this, a very strong negative force works due to the synergy between the power of righteousness and the power of the position.

When you feel, "That's the right point, but it's not like that in terms of feeling." It is likely to be a malignant theory.

Definition of Malignant Righteousness

Is that correct argument malignant? In fact, it is easy to determine.

First of all, it is a feeling. If there is a confusion that says, "I feel like the logic works, but something doesn't fit," there is a possibility that it is malignant.

And when the right argument creates a state where you can't move. It is malignant.

The purpose of the correct argument is to maintain the status quo and do nothing as a result of discussion.

Therefore, if someone says something plausible and the conclusion is to maintain the status quo, judge that "this is dangerous".

How to Overcome Malignant Righteousness

In recent years, it has been called VUCA, and it is an era of rapid change, uncertainty, and poor prospects.

VUCA is a business term. Acronym is an acronym for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity. It arose as a military term in the United States in the late 1990s, but it was not until the 2010s that it was also used in the business industry. It is often used in the context of 'now it is the world of VUCA'. 〜From Wikipedia

In such an era, the option of continuing to "maintain the status quo" is not safe, but the worst strategy. We must keep changing.

Therefore, by first hitting the (good) correct argument that "there is no option to maintain the status quo", let's shut down the malignant correct argument.

I don't have the courage to say such a correct argument in the first place! ?

Even though you know you're wrong, do you get caught up in the status quo and silently watch the company as a whole deteriorate? Or do you muster up the courage to try to overcome the righteousness of evil?

It goes without saying which one is the most loyal person and important to the organization.
