Expedition Log.5 "The Team Message"

"Teamwork" is similar to "Kizuna" in recent Japan. Kizuna has become something of a modern rallying cry in today's Japanese society. Initially, it was used to make people's bonds firm in order to overcome the hard time, but it became obsolescence with time. There come people who even don't want to hear the word. It's shame. We must use words in proper ways, opportunities, and amounts.

This chapter tells us the importance of creating a solid team and sending a strong message of unity.

People tend to think our organization work is just to help players play the piano pleasantly, but it is not correct. It is true that it is players that entertain audience, but we also do. We arrange tables and chairs, set up sound equipment. It is not for only players but also for listeners. We hope people listen to classic music easy and good sound quality. Our organization are sharing this identity. Thanks to this identity, our bonds are firm and do work sincerely.

We often communicate with each other. As we are college students, it is difficult to meet each day at full strength. But thanks to the technology, we have many tools for communication. We use Skye, e-mail, and facebook. Everyday, we check our team mate's recent events and response to their comments. By doing this, we avoid drifting away.

Every person in my organization has his her work and they feel they have responsibility for their work. We respect each person's work, so we don't interfere with our team mate's work except for some extraordinary reason. In such case, we talk with him or her and have a think together.

We have work which is cut out for us. It is true that we should challenge work to which we give a wide berth, but our job consists of our pleasantness. So we need not challenge, but do our work in full steam.
