On August 30, Mr. Kazuo Inamori passed away. Japanese media reported that he died of old age. Deeply influenced by Chinese culture, he is known as the "Sage of Management" in Japan and is also respected by Chinese entrepreneurs.
The 100-day growth course on "Inamori's Philosophy and 72 Ways to Improve Work Effectiveness" just ended a few days ago, and I got this sad news. Perhaps, Mr. Kazuo Inamori did not feel sad before his death, because before the curtain call, he had already fulfilled the meaning of his serious life: life is a spiritual practice, so that the quality of the soul is higher at the curtain call than at the beginning. Click.
In memory of Mr. Kazuo Inamori, we have selected four insights into Kazuo Inamori’s management philosophy from previous courses or articles at the Beijing Institute of Knowledge and Action and solemnly share them.
1. Philosophy is more important than strategy
Mr. Kazuo Inamori believes that the meaning and purpose of doing business must return to the meaning and purpose of being a human being. He said that no matter how rich or powerful you are, when your life ends, everything can only be left in the world, and only your soul will follow you on the next journey.
The only purpose of life is to cultivate the soul, making it a little nobler at the end of the curtain than at the beginning of the opening. Whether you are an entrepreneur or an ordinary person, Mr. Kazuo Inamori has a life creed that can be learned and learned - "You must live very seriously every day."
Mr. Kazuo Inamori rarely talks about strategy, but talks about philosophy. He believes that philosophy is more important than strategy and is the starting point. When people's hearts are settled, there is no need for management. It turns out that it is assumed that everyone is a bad person and needs to be managed. Now it's easy to assume that everyone is a good person. If someone cheats on you, let him go.
Mr. Kazuo Inamori rethinks the meaning of the existence of enterprises. Doing business is to awaken the glory and goodness of human nature, rather than exploit the evil in human nature. If you benefit yourself, you will thrive, if you benefit others, you will last.
2. The truth behind the secret
Mr. Kazuo Inamori said: "You have to put in as much effort as anyone else." How should this sentence be understood? Why should we put in as much effort as anyone else? Suppose you work eight hours, someone else works ten hours, and someone else works twelve hours, sixteen hours, or even eighteen hours. And putting in as much effort as anyone else means that you are harder working than someone who "works eighteen hours"!
Mr. Kazuo Inamori Why do you expect us so harshly? Why does he talk about things we can't do? Why does he say this again and again?
Because, "puts in as much effort as anyone else", this is a secret book of Mr. Kazuo Inamori, but he did not reveal the mystery. For example, if I work eight hours, I can earn 1,000 yuan; if I work 16 hours, I can earn 2,000 yuan. If it is just a purely quantitative change, I would still earn 1,000 yuan.
Because between eight hours and sixteen hours, my quality of life will completely change. I will have no personal life at all, no time to travel, no time to spend time with my family, just to earn twice as much money, then I'd rather forget it. Therefore, if you spend twice as much time and get twice as much in return, most people will choose to retreat.
So, Mr. Kazuo Inamori why do you still ask and expect everyone to make efforts that are no less than anyone else?
A few years ago, Mrs. Edison wrote a paragraph. She introduced why Edison had such abundant creativity in his life. She described Edison this way: He was either in the laboratory or on his way to the laboratory. In his heart and eyes, there is only work and experiment. On August 30, Mr. Kazuo Inamori passed away. Japanese media reported that he died of old age. Deeply influenced by Chinese culture, he is known as the "Sage of Management" in Japan and is also respected by Chinese entrepreneurs.

She introduced why Edison had such abundant creativity in his life. She described Edison this way: He was either in the laboratory or on his way to the laboratory. In his heart and eyes, there is only work and experiment. He is the kind of person who eats when he is hungry, drinks when he is thirsty, and sleeps when he is sleepy. He does not distinguish between places and occasions, 24 hours a day, and all his time is combined with experiments. Therefore, his wife said, "Edison was so harmonious with nature that nature revealed incredible secrets to him." This is Mr. Kazuo Inamori's sentence "Efforts are no less than anyone else's." "The truth behind it. 3, The essence of Inamori's philosophy In recent years, many people in the domestic industry have studied Inamori Kazuo, and many entrepreneurs are convinced of his business methods. But sometimes I don’t know how can distinguish whether the Inamori philosophy it promotes is true or false? To answer this question in , we need to go back to the source of Chinese culture and the power of Yangming’s Xinxue. As we all know, Mr. Kazuo Inamori highly respects Chinese culture and Mr. Yang Ming. To a certain extent, it is also possible to say that Inamori philosophy is the practice and application of Yang Ming 's inner learning in the business field. Tracing back to the roots, we found that Mr. Kazuo Inamori's life and business philosophy were deeply influenced by the thoughts of Saigo Takamori, and Saigo Takamori was the most convinced of Yangming's philosophy in his life. In fact, Mr. Yangming's works were introduced to Japan as early as the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. In the mid-16th century, the philosopher Nakao Etoki of the Tokugawa era was the first to spread Yangming's philosophy of mind in China, and was known as Japanese Yangming. The "original ancestor" of Xinxue. At that time, Yangming's theory of mind was still limited to a small elite class. Later, at the end of the shogunate period, Japan's most famous thinker Yoshida Shoin believed that Mr. Yomei's " Chuanxilu " "all said to be careful." The school he sponsored cultivated a large number of patriots for the Meiji Restoration. It is said that nearly half of his eighty disciples made outstanding contributions to the Meiji Restoration, including Saigo Takamori. Saigo Takamori, as one of the "Three Heroes of the Meiji Restoration", was most convinced of Yangming's philosophy throughout his life. He carried Mr. Yangming's books with him and never forgot them. We all know that the core of Yangming's theory of mind is "to get rid of the ignorance and greed in one's heart", which is the principle of heaven and the Tao. Xi Xiang Longsheng advocated that learning Yangming’s Mind Learning should be “compassionate” in order to make use of “competition and fighting”, that is, “the unity of knowledge and action”. Otherwise, “reading the books of sages in vain is like observing the swordsmanship of others” , there is no complacency in the heart.” Because Yangming's philosophy is a heart-centered philosophy, and Inamori's philosophy is a heart-centered management. understands this and captures the essence of Inamori's philosophy. 4, the source of passion Mr. Kazuo Inamori said: "Talent and art are God-given, and you cannot make profits for yourself alone." When we come to this world, we must have a specific mission, and we cannot just care about ourselves. There is such a story: In ancient times, there was a chivalrous man. After learning Kungfu from his master, the master asked him to go down the mountain to do justice for heaven and eliminate violence. But after he came down from the mountain, he forgot his master's instructions and became a nursing home for a wealthy family in order to make money and enjoy himself. A few years later, when he suddenly remembered his mission, years of comfort had emptied more than half of his martial arts skills. When a person only lives for himself, his life stage will be extremely narrow. It was originally a very impressive skill, but because the stage was too small, there was no way to show it, and in the end it was wasted. Therefore, if we have talents and resources, and we have caught up with such an era, we should look for major problems in society and do our best to contribute to solving these problems. IBM's most difficult time is also its most exciting time. In 1993, Gerstner led IBM to complete its strategic transformation. At that time, the most critical point Gerstner found was "Passion". IBM people are all professionally trained and the smartest people, but when they have no enthusiasm and passion, nothing can be done. So when Gerstner touched on the passion point, the whole company was revitalized. But Gerstner did not answer where is the source of the passion for ? Mr. Kazuo Inamori answered. Mr. Kazuo Inamori said that you must understand the purpose of running a business. Going deeper, as a business operator, you must understand the purpose of being a human being and the purpose of living, and then you will find the source of lasting personal passion. When you find the source of passion, you can ignite your employees. If you say: I am 50 years old, I have made a lot of money, and I am ready to retire. Your employees will also think the same way: I'll make some money quickly and find a way to live a small life. Therefore, if you work hard, others will work hard; if you find the source, you can help others find the source. And Mr. Kazuo Inamori found the source of passion. In addition to passion, vision is also very important. Vision is a sense of direction and strategy. Where did the vision come from? Mr. Yangming answered this question: With a mind as calm as water and a clear conscience, one can naturally be calm in dealing with situations and adapt to endless changes. A loving heart is the source of innovation. When you touch the people of the world with the heart of parents touching their children, you can feel their weakest bitterness, sweetness, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. This is the innovation direction of new era enterprises. This is the new era enterprise. business direction. Therefore, passion and vision are the most successful elements for a century-old enterprise. The reason why some companies have gone through a hundred years is because of coincidence. But most companies don’t really know the password to success, so there’s no way to pass it on. Why is a company successful? Today no one has explained it clearly, and it is basically difficult to pass on things that have not been explained clearly. "Life is so ups and downs, you never know what will happen in the future. There will be enviable luck, but you will also encounter unexpected failures and tests. However, it is not good luck or bad luck that determines life. But the state of our soul html. 3. The more difficult and difficult it is, the less you should lose your good hope; and when you succeed, you must not forget to be grateful and humble; maintain a positive attitude, start with what you can do at the moment, concentrate on it, and go all out. As long as you have this mentality, you can regain your strength at any time.”
