the Courage to Change

 This March, there are an unusually large number of decisions I need to make.

Two system implementations, one real estate project, one renovation, and one partnership agreement.

All of them require significant investment.
The safest option would be simple: do nothing.

However, doing nothing is often the greatest risk when it comes to future growth and success.

So we review several plans, discuss them as a team, and carefully evaluate the options.
And if we are going to invest anyway, then we should choose the best possible option.

Of course, there are moments of doubt along the way.
Sometimes we even change direction.

Some people might call that inconsistency.
But if changing direction creates more value for the team and the organization, then I believe we should not hesitate to change.

It’s the same as adopting someone else's idea when it’s better than your own.
Even after making a decision, if something better appears, then we should absolutely be willing to reconsider.

There is an old saying from ancient wisdom:

“A wise person may change their mind three times in a single day.”

I understand that when my decisions change, it can be challenging for the team.
But as long as those decisions come from responsibility and seriousness as a leader, it is unavoidable.

When you are truly committed, you push forward with full force toward one goal.
Without that level of energy, nothing meaningful can be achieved.

But if a better path appears, you must be willing to switch to it without hesitation.

Without that flexibility, it is impossible to survive in an age of constant change.

Human nature has not changed much in thousands of years.
When we think about it that way, changing direction is not such a big problem.

As long as the core—our philosophy and passion—remains unchanged.
