Are there any rules for failure?

I will answer such questions.

“I don’t know the rules of people who succeed at work, but I do know the rules of people who fail at work.”

This ran Coca-Cola for 12 years and revitalized the Coca-Cola system.
These are the words of Donald R. Keough.

“Failure” and “regret” are inevitable if you are trying and making efforts. At such times, how do people who can overcome it and turn it into strength?

In this article, we will introduce the “law of failure” and the characteristics and common points of people who fail at work.

Conclusion of the Law of Failure

Talented people have one thing in common.
It’s “failed a lot”.

There is no need to read UNIQLO’s Tadashi Yanai’s book “1 Victory, 9 Losses”.

Also, he says that there is no rule for successful people, but there is always a common rule for big failures.
That is, “there is a habit of blaming others for the cause of failures and problems.”

Say “excuse” and run away.
The words that Carlos Ghosn left when he first came to Japan
“Always looking for excuses to fail. This is Nissan’s number one enemy.”

This is what successful people think.

Konosuke Matsushita, whom I respect, said that if you want to succeed, you should not give up until you succeed.
He said.

Only a successful person can say these words,
If anyone thinks that, it is a big mistake.

I was successful because I never gave up, because I always told myself not to give up.
“If you fall, get up”.

Previously, I heard that Honda has something called the “Failure Contest,” in which prizes are awarded to those who fail on the last step and fail to bring their technology to the world.

The reason for this is that the founder, Soichiro Honda, often spoke during his lifetime.
“If there are people who have failed nine times and people who are unharmed, I want to hire people who have failed nine times.
Because he already knows nine things not to do.”

You can clearly see the words.
By the way, change “failure” to “success”

The three principles are “Motivation”, “Passion” and “Technology”.

“It won’t be found out like this.”

People who work with this kind of sensibility and companies who do business will end up in a tragedy.

Once you get your hands dirty with gray means,
I’m frantic and start looking for more last-minute places.

And eventually, the public and those around me will be criticized, and I will have to quit the company.
“I should have stopped…”, he said, regretting it.

“Don’t take risks”
It is said to be the most important factor in failing at work.

The feeling of not wanting to take risks
To some extent, it will attack from the stage when you have accumulated achievements and started to experience success.

how to deal with that feeling
People who grow further and people who finish slowly are divided into light and dark.

Inflexibility is the top job failure story

People say that the flow of the world is “temporary” and ignore it
Some people stick to their own ideas.

This book uses the example of automobile tycoon Henry Ford as an example.

アメ車はフォード社ヘンリー・フォード創業者の車をつくる熱意とは？

Ford predicts that automobiles will become vehicles for the masses in the future.
It was a great success selling cars at a price that the general public could afford.

But business is competitive.
A rival will come.

With the spread of automobiles, people are attracted to faster and brighter cars.

Rivals follow the trend and manufacture new cars.

Ford, on the other hand,
Assuming that this is the model that everyone needs and will not change,
We continued to sell cars that were the same type in black forever.

As a result, Ford’s overwhelming market share was taken away, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

“Lack of flexibility leads to failure”

This rule applies not only to companies, but also to business people.
