Minaho-neesan now trusts me is entrusting me with decisions.
If I make a decision, she accepts it.
It’s because her principle in teaching has changed
Michi said.
Master, did you now about Seeckt organizational theory?
Nope, not an idea
What country is he from?
During the first world war, Hans von Seeckt, a German military officer speaks for a high ranking General and he’s known in Japan
A German military officer.High ranking General?
He mentioned that the Efficient yet fellow is suited as a commanding officer. They’re lazy after all.
He can use subordinates effectively and all he has to think is how to get an easy win.
A talented hard worker should become a military staff. He thinks diligently on how to mobilize men and instead of spearheading the force, he should be watching the whole squad as an officer.
The incompetent lazy fellows can become the low grade commissioned officer or soldiers. They don’t think of anything, and won’t act unless they’re told.
As for the incompetent hard workers, there’s no choice but to execute them. They’re earnest despite their incompetence, and they will move forward without noticing any mistakes, and they’ll only befall others to danger Hmm.
So that thought exists too.
Ah, I’ve seen those. In manga
Right, Eri-chan reads manga when she likes the boys
The twins said.
It’s from the ’90s, and so it’s always used in novels, manga, and even in business documents. It’s still a speech well known to others
Michi said.
But, those didn’t come from Hans von Seeckt
Huh?
They looked on every book Seeckt wrote and that speech didn’t appear anywhere
Then, who said those words?
Unknown. Before anyone noticed, Japan recognized it as Seeckt’s speech
Does that happen?
Wow, that’s the darkness of the internet
Is it an urban legend?
The twins said, but.
It’s a common happening. On the internet, some historical episode that has nothing to do with with the subject flows in falsely. For example, it’s not true that Matsunaga Hisahide stuffed his tea kettle with gunpowder and died from an explosion No way?
We just saw that on TV the other day
Right. He died from an explosion on a TV drama
I don’t even know who Matsunaga is.
In novels or movies before the Tokyo Olympics, far from the war, Matsunaga Hisahide only breaks his tea kettle and committed suicide. There were no explosions. Before anyone noticed, the image of using explosives become flashy and so someone changed the story to him blowing himself up Then that became the truth nowadays
That’s how it is today. Who knows about the future
Kinoshita-san who listened to Michi’s story.
True. If we follow that sequence, Matsunaga Hisahide’s cause of death will become Cross of the Plain Spider’s Saint Cloth, and turn to stonewalling love-struck fist, some kind of weird cause of death Err.
I don’t think so
Michi flatly rejected it.
Let’s return to Seeckt’s theory. What do you think of it, Master?
Err.
Talented Lazy, Talented Hardworker, Incompetent Lazy, and Incompetent Hardworker.
The most useless is the incompetent hard worker.
Somehow, I can say that it’s right but it’s weird
I replied.
Why do you think so?
Well.
The world doesn’t work like that, saying that he’s that kind of person, so deploy them there
Oh. I see.
The man who gave this theory looks from a high place, looking down on others. He thinks that he’s a God, giving roles to people like You’re here, you’re there
But in truth, reality comes first. Especially in organizations.
In organizations, there are personal relationships. Nothing will change even if you use this theory
Like who’s talented, incompetent, hard worker, and lazy.
What significance does it have?
If you gather people, you can create an organization. You can create personal relationships. Then you have to think of how to accomplish the task with the people you have present
I said.
In a personal relationship, there’s no talented hard worker, and the incompetent lazy still has to work even for a bit
There’s no meaning in sorting them.
Instead, if you’re imprisoned in that concept, you’ll start backstabbing the same workers calling them incompetent hard worker. That will destroy the relationships inside the organization
Michi.
That’s not all
She speaks calmly.
That theory isn’t considering that people change through training
Oh right. An incompetent hard worker can class up to talented hard worker if you teach him
Eri said.
On the other hand, if you give poor education on a talented person, they can become incompetent
Michi?
If a person who can think for himself is trained to not say anything and just accept orders from above, then he will become like that
Oh, a class down.
I mean, in armed forces, most people might be like that
This time, it’s Rie.
Besides, Seeckt’s theory says that the talented lazy should be a commander. The talented hard worker as a staff. The incompetent lazy as an ordinary soldier. And the incompetent hard worker to be shot to death Michi said.
In actual armed forces, they’ll never make that kind of classifications. Each has a different status and objective
That means.
Ordinary soldiers don’t think of the strategy themselves. They’ll do as the top brass orders them to do. If each of the soldiers can give their say on what to do, it’ll be chaotic
Well, that’s true.
However, that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t think of anything. They have to think of what to do to execute the order.thinking desperately on what’s the scope of permissible actions as a soldier as they have to act precisely Right.
If they don’t use the cover right in front of them, the enemy machine gun will kill them immediately.
They have to think of what they’re allowed to do and how to fight without dying.
This scope changes depending on the position of the troops
Michi said.
If it’s the commander of the force, he has to follow the orders coming from above, and so he will make precise decisions within the permissible scope to make sure that his troops don’t die. If it’s the officer, he’ll receive an order from the country leader and he has to think of a plan, but, his scope is about what’s best for the country I see. Everyone has to create the best scenario for their own role.
Talking about a talented lazy person is stupid.
I see. This theory takes out the top, the generals, and the country leaders.
If that guy is the head of the country, he will be on the level where he talks about something stupid in bars saying This guy should do this
That’s right. What’s important in the organization is that the members all have different personalities but they’re doing the best from their own standpoint and power. An organization will collapse if they label each member using this theory Right, if you know that the person above you is called incompetent hard worker, you’ll stop thinking of doing anything earnestly
Eri said.
You don’t want to be a talented hard worker either. It’d make you think What is this guy talking about with such an arrogant attitude
Rie’s right.
Well, what’s talented and what’s incompetent differs on each job
Kinoshita-san said.
One can be talented in computer work but is useless at business. The opposite is true as well. And as for an extreme example, in arts, an artist can sell a painting a year and that’s all it takes for them to live by themselves, right? Even if they couldn’t, some people get paid by the hour to do outsourced work, and they’re different from people who receive an hourly wage Yes. I think that people who use that rough theory nowadays in business are wrong
Michi said.
I mean, this talk about Incompetent but is an absurdly strong lazy fellow, or Incompetent, but works hard to the bone doesn’t exist
