Accumulating successful experiences is necessary. On the other hand, successful experiences narrow the horizon for other options and lead to conservative tendencies. If an organization refuses to change, it will eventually cease to function.
An organization is a collection of individuals. As individual leaders and followers become more dependent on the “existing structure and system,” the resilience of the organization will weaken in inverse proportion.
Therefore, in this issue, I would like to introduce a tick list to determine if you are an “existing system dependent” or not.
Checklist of existing systems and system dependencies

- Cannot forget past glories and successes
- Does not see any prospects for the future
- Absolute trust in one’s own common sense
- Do not feel much interest in information about change
- Too busy to look back on themselves
- Can go through life without thinking about anything
- I am rarely moved
- I value logic
- I care more about not failing than succeeding
- I like to give feedback
- I like to criticize
- I tend to focus on the part rather than the whole
- I forget the whole and end up doing something else
- I often take measures that are out of line with my objectives
