Reasons for making it closed-ended and open-ended
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2025 12:28 pm
The trick here was to not just ask people for their thoughts on all the values equally, but to first ask them in a closed-ended manner to choose their favorite out of the three values, and then to ask them in an open-ended manner to explain why they liked that value .
First of all, if I asked them to explain all the values, they would just say, "No, you should ask Mr. Oda (the president) about that..." (even I would say the same thing), and I
thought that everyone would only give standard, safe answers, so I thought it would be best to have them choose one.
The reason we made "like" the selection criterion is because the goal of value penetration is to empathize with (i.e. like) and embody it.
Also, when asked "What does this value mean?" the hurdle is set as it seems like you are expected to give the correct answer , but when asked "Why do you like it?" I thought it find investor through investor database would be easier to hear the person's words
based on their own feelings without being concerned with correctness , so I decided on why I like it.
Although they prefaced their comments by saying that it was difficult to choose and they weren't sure if their interpretations were correct, they were able to share a wide variety of thoughts with us, and as we listened, we felt that each one was very much like that person, so we think the result was a success.
The actual answers revealed
So, seeing is believing.
We have collected excerpts from employee interviews, which were just updated this week, about their thoughts on our values. Please take a look at the wonderful thoughts of the wonderful members of iRidge!
(When I lined them up again, I noticed that there were a lot of endings that ended with "●● maybe" lol)

It was hard to choose,
but I think it's iRidge pride. I feel that iRidge pride includes a sense of responsibility and ownership, and I like that, or rather, I think that's a very important thing.
For example, when explaining something, there is a big difference between saying "It is/I want to do it" and "It is supposed to be that...", and even a small change of words can tell you whether the person is taking ownership.
Speaking as if it were your own story, rather than hearsay, requires constant effort, not just on a spot basis, so I think it's a value you should always keep in the back of your mind.
