BE A GAME CHANGER. DO NOT BE A PROFESSIONAL.
I am reading this book now.
「超」入門 失敗の本質 日本軍と現代日本に共通する23の組織的ジレンマ
The English title is “Essence of Failure”. This book discusses why the Japanese military lost in several wars. This book also discusses business, why Japanese companies are less innovative than American companies.
I will try to summarize this book. The differences between Japan and the US are described below.
Japan trades a lot for winning games. Japan did the same things until the skill became No.1. But, the US changed the rules of games, so Japan cannot win in the game with new rules.
Lesson : BE A GAME CHANGER. DO NOT BE A PROFESSIONAL.
- Strategy is to think about how to choose the tactics that leads to the goal.
- Even if you won temporarily, you will lose in the long run if you cannot understand why you succeeded.
- Japan is a culture of training that refines one idea. But only thoese who can change the rules of the games win.
