It also means that if I have been fortunate in the way I have lived up to now, misfortune may come one day. Management involves looking at both sides of this coin. When business conditions are good, we need to prepare for tough times, and when business conditions are bad, we need to prepare for better times. If you have experienced misfortunes so far, you should hope that the opposite can also occur. Nothing lasts forever. The universe also changes from time to time, and we must abandon the notion that the society we live in will remain the same. Management is the act of converting uncertainty into certainty. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The biggest crisis for CEOs is the financial crisis . However, symptoms precede this financial crisis; staff around the CEOs stop offering advice. If the staff believes that giving advice is futile and will only worsen the relationship, they will refrain from providing further advice. Nevertheless, most CEOs perceive their aides differently when they remain silent. The CEOs interpret the staff’s silence as a resolution to the conflict of interest . Ultimately, the staff’s silence inevitably precedes a financial crisis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Even though $1 million of one’s own money and $1 million of others’ money are numerically the same, their characteristics will differ significantly. In other words, while money is represented numerically, it serves various purposes, and its usage remains unexpressed when distributed in the market. Money is accounted for to illustrate this situation because the purpose of its use is more significant than the number (amount). Specifically, double-entry bookkeeping is the most reliable method for reflecting both the amount and its use. Therefore, if a CEO doesn’t understand double-entry bookkeeping, it is akin to managing blindly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
