Last visit with my surgical doctor.

5月

13日

I am all clear from cancer.

I just finished the visit with my surgical doctor who operated on me. He told me there is nothing more I needed from him. I will be following up with my liver doctor to make sure I will not develop any more problem. The surgery was able to remove all my cancer cells and there is no trace anywhere. That is a good news ... I just need to keep it that way.

Next time I see him will be getting a kidney transplant in two years. Because I had cancer, I am on the list but not qualified to receive a kidney for two year from the surgery.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 180 The Little Changes Add Up

5月

The Little Changes Add Up

After I got sick, had surgery, and recuperated at home, I can’t feel the daily changes. Sometimes, I feel worse than the day before. When that happens, I get concerned about what will happen if they continue as they are. For the first few weeks after leaving the hospital, I couldn’t even get out of bed every day. So, I didn’t know if I was getting any better. After that, I could gradually get out of bed. Then, I could walk with crutches and a walker. However, I still needed to use a wheelchair when I went back to the hospital. It’s been less than a month since I stopped using a wheelchair. I still have cane, but I can now walk without using it and started rehabilitation. So, I think I’ve made better progress.

However, when I think of my recovery day-by-day, I never noticed a huge change. Despite the progress I’ve made since then. If someone saw me a month ago, I’d look much better to them now. I feel the same when thinking about PSPINC. It’s necessary to simultaneously evolve as the times change, but we don’t notice the daily changes. Not when we’re in it. All we can see is where we want our company to be in one or three years. And even then, it can be unpredictable.

It’s easier to evaluate a complete recovery from an illness because it’s clear what the objectives are. For a company, no one can move until the leaders are clear where the company’s going. So, they tend to only evaluate what’s happening now. Through my recovery, I feel I truly understand the importance of goals. By now, I think I’ve recovered about 50% since my surgery. Next, I’ll try my best to reach 80% recovery.

It was a beautiful afternoon.
I took a walk at Kelsey Creek Park ... It was still little cold.
I did not make a mile today but I am still sore from last two days.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 179 Current Covid-19 Status

5月

Current Covid-19 Status

Recently, I haven’t heard many Covid-19 updates in the U.S from the news. Recently, they lifted the mask mandate on airplanes and public transportation. Even in Washington state, people no longer need to show their vaccination cards to dine in restaurants. Even though restrictions here lasted longer than in other states. When I look around the city, I see many people aren’t wearing masks. Hospital staff and those who work in medical institutions still need to wear them, but I think they’ll lift restrictions little by little. Soon, people will be able to enjoy their freedom.

The pandemic lasted longer than expected, hasn’t it? I heard that quarantine will no longer be required when traveling to Japan, as long as you’ve gotten your booster shot. I’m currently still undergoing treatment, but I can’t wait to recover fully and go back to Japan.

Lastly, I'd like to briefly share my status. On February 25th, I had an operation to remove part of my liver and gallbladder. From that, it seems that they’ve removed any metastasis of cancer. Since then, my operation wound has already healed, and I can walk little by little thanks to daily rehabilitation. It will be a long road to full recovery, but I’ll do my best to get better. I encourage you all to please take good care of your health as well.

What is Goyoukiki (御用聞き)?

5月

3日

The word in Japanese for "Sales" is "Eigyo" but in old days, the word used to describe Sales was "Goyokiki". The literal translation of the word is "The person who Listen to the Needs".

I do not believe is Sales as a activity of pushing that you want to sell. Sales people should listen to customers and understand what the need are. To do so, you need to develop strong relationship with customers. Sometime, what customer needs are different from what you are selling. In that case, instead of telling the customer "we do not sell that", good sales should try using the network to help the customer.

One you establish a relationship, when a customer needs something you sell, they will ask you.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 178 Giving Instructions Effectively

4月

28日

Giving Instructions Effectively

When giving someone instructions, something unexpected may happen. It could be because the other person doesn’t understand what you mean. Or you may not have given them enough of an explanation. In the end, it may be faster to finish it yourself. I don’t think I’m the only president to experience this.

Simply instructing someone to do something may lead to a mistake. It’s natural that things can get misconstrued as we all think differently. Also every person does things differently. So, instead of giving people directions on how to do it and why, we should just tell them what we want and expect from them.

Perhaps I’m not the best boss. I haven’t been able to do it as much recently, but it’s important to effectively give people instructions. Communication is very important. For me, I’ve recently realized that I need to listen to people more.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 177 Creating a More Effective Workplace

4月

21日

Creating a More Effective Workplace

Part of doing your job consists of doing what needs to be done. Some people think that doing it as a task is the job itself. But not many people think about the job as a whole. However, if the purpose is, they can determine if it’s the right thing to do.

How a manager distributes and assigns work can change this. It may be more helpful for employees to ask their managers to clarify their tasks’ objectives. This way, he or she can communicate what they think would be the best course of action to accomplish the end goal. Also, a manager’s instructions is not always everything. I think workers can carry out their work more effectively if they have a better idea of what the overall objective is.

What needs to be done must be done. But there are many different ways to accomplish a task. Giving specific instructions on how to do something can eliminate creativity. But on the other hand, if someone goes about a task in a method that’s been proven to fail in the past, it’s also important to inform them how they can do the job more effectively.

Some managers feel it might be faster to do tasks themselves rather than delegating them to others. And I’m sure that’s true sometimes. But it won’t allow your staff to grow. I feel it is important to delegate work to the extent that mistakes are allowed, and to review the work done by the staff.
