As a regular survey, we weren’t particularly nervous or brooding about it.
The questions were simple and were a survey of how they felt about the atmosphere in the workplace.
The survey can be completed anonymously. We didn’t think anything of it, but the managers were terribly nervous.
Looking closely at the questions, it seemed that they were aimed at clarifying the character evaluations of individual managers rather than investigating the atmosphere of the workplace.
If someone wrote a complaint or request on the survey form, it could be used as a manager’s character review.
At first, managers were very hesitant to distribute survey forms.
But they distributed survey forms throughout the workplace and collected them within the day.
Nothing happened at work after that. It seems that what the management was worried about did not happen.
- Which should be emphasized, the ideal or the reality?
- Whether the ideal or the reality should be emphasized depends on the situation and purpose. Here are some ideas for common situations and purposes.
When setting goals and planning
The emphasis here is on the ideal. You can achieve greater results by setting ideal goals, setting specific goals, and making plans to achieve them. It’s important to have a certain amount of ambition and move towards your ideals while considering practical constraints.
when moving into action
Reality is important here. To close the gap between ideal and reality, we need to take real action. It’s important to understand realistic constraints and deal with them appropriately while steadily progressing toward your goals.
When evaluating results
It is important here to consider both the ideal and the reality. When evaluating whether outcomes come close to the ideal, we must remember the ideal and consider realistic constraints and circumstances. Another point to be evaluated is whether or not we were able to achieve maximum results within realistic constraints.
As described above, depending on the situation and purpose, the emphasis differs between the ideal and reality, so it is important to have a sense of balance according to the situation.
