Let go of Old Behavior!
Huge Challenges
What are the skills you probably need to practice?
‘That is not realistic!’
Because Makigami compares the process to a theoretical ideal, it is tempting to repeatedly claim that something is ‘impossible’ or ‘unrealistic’. However, that is not the question…
The real question is:
Where are the losses; where is the potential improvement?
As long as the root cause of a loss is not investigated, it is impossible for you to know whether it can or cannot be solved!
What to stop with:
- Learn to stop accepting (potential) losses!
- Dare to make losses visible!
- Stop saying ‘Yes, but…’!
- Dare to think beyond the current reality (‘we will never be able to do that’)!
- Never say ‘That is hardly realistic’ before you have carried out an in-depth investigation and can PROVE why it is so hard!!
