Recently, I have been helping my brother at his pastry shop. That experience showed me the unique talent of people like me. Let’s discuss it.
How to use our unique talents
Sometimes, we want to know how to use our unique talents. Doing things that others cannot do enriches us.
However, we sometimes don’t recognize our potential, especially when we have an empathic and logical nature, the qualities of minorities in society. That forces us to live the same way as our surroundings and exhausts us.
One of our strengths is management, stemming from our ability to organize. It can be applied not only in cleaning up but also to business and investment.
In other words, we can make money by applying logical organizing. Today, I will explain why. This perspective may show you how to contribute to others efficiently.
One of our talents: management ability
Management will be suitable work for those with empathy and logical sense, like us.
It is rooted in the organizing skill we often love. In other words, those who love organizing and cleaning up logically are suitable for management.
Management is a process that classifies things and information according to the situation to make them easy to use.
For example, suppose we decided to help at a pastry shop. In the shop, many things—ingredients, tools, information, and chain of command—are cluttered. There is neither a plan nor coordinated action. The sales staff just says, ‘This cake and that cookie were out of stock.’ The baking staff will take one of the following actions. The first is to start making them on their own. The second is to ignore it, continue their current work, and expect other pastry chefs to do it.
Either way, they provide no communication or feedback to the factory and sales staff. Since the sales staff don’t know the factory’s business, they continue to take reservations on their own.
Naturally, the store will be in chaos. The factory produces many unnecessary items while failing to create the necessary products needed for orders.
That is an unmanaged state. Excessive waste causes the shop to end up in a loss, no matter how delicious the cakes they bake.
Considering it as programming
Management solves such confusion. We consider and plan what and how much to bake each day, prioritize items, assign who will make them, and prepare systems that can be done efficiently.
It is like programming on a computer. We prepare variables and functions. Variables are resources, and functions are business processes. We combine them and make it work well. It is a logical task.
People who can organize efficiently can create efficient programs. Grouping common materials and tasks makes them easier to execute.
That reduces confusion, maximizes profit, and minimizes losses. Those who like programming can enjoy this kind of work.
That is a typical example of management. It means that employees move like a machine while a manager analyzes and uses the system. We can become creators of machines instead of being one component.
Applying to business and investment
It can be applied to independent business and investment.
The difference is only whether the perspective is local or global.
In business, we look at the local society as a chain of human collaboration and identify inefficient products or services. We create a business to fill the part. It is like improving a computer program.
In investment, we see human activities broadly and historically. Then, we predict what will be needed in the next era and prepare for it.
Either way, we see human collaboration as large-scale programming. Then, we identify areas where we can improve and practice them. The difference is only in scale.
That perspective naturally improves business and investment. In other words, business and investment are part of management, which is rooted in the organizing ability.
Conclusion
That is why one of our strengths is management, which stems from the ability to organize.
It can be applied not only in cleaning up but also to business and investment. In other words, we can make money through organizing.
This perspective may show you how to contribute to others efficiently.
