Having read Paul Roos' Here It Is and currently reading Mark Thompson's Bomber The Whole Story, being valued for individuals is important in their life. Even professional sport players are needed to be valued so that they can perform well in their sport games.
Being valued brings individuals motivations and reminds their life purposes. Then they will enjoy their works more.
Let's see the opposite. What if individuals are only criticised their work performances and pointed out mistakes? They will lose self-esteem and even their strengths can be ruined. Insecure is more likely to be implemented in people's psychology due to criticism as well as jealously.
Roos and Thompson were premiership AFL coaches and built their clubs from long struggles with losing cultures and sticking conservative cultures. Valuing players and having good and open communication were keys for success. It's not only for sports but also for other works.
When Paul landed at Sydney Swans and Melbourne Demons, his players wanted to be treated as humans. Sport players are also humans, not 24/7 machines, so it is reasonable and the basic of the nature.
As a person who has been treated unlike a human, such attitudes are important. We have to be treated as a human and reasonably to live in the society.
Too overloaded, too much pressures, long working hours and staff shortage cause a lot of stress. I strongly think Japanese working culture should be improved as well as may customers in Japan have to treat their servicing staff as human beings.
Bomber (Mark's nickname) was tired of heavy workloads on coaching Geelong. It's a tough job and cost his first marriage in 2005. He points the importance of the balanced life. I agree with him. Having a balanced life is being treated as a human.
Work hard and play hard is my motto in my life, but I am much far behind the achievement, because I do not have a close friend who lives nearby, sadly. I want a professional writing job and to be in a strong and solid social network.
