Samurai Virtues for our Professional Career
Samurai culture is celebrated in history and revered in popular culture.
The virtues of the samurai influenced the evolution of Japan as a society, and ultimately affected the course of its global affairs in the latest century.
In the book Samurai Strategies by Boye Lafayette De Mente, the author explores the seven samurai virtues that defined their way of life, and we have adapted them to our professional career.
Kennin Fortitude and Perseverance The samurai training centered on martial arts as well as the development of mind and body. It is important for our professional career to maintain a healthy body and train the mind to develop concentration, judgment and a positive attitude in order to persevere when facing a challenge.
Shinnen Conviction and Faith in Oneself The samurai were said to possess a resolute self-belief, so much so that they believed they could accomplish anything. We must possess self-belief when confronting our career obstacles and discouraging results.
Shincho Care and Discretion The samurai was very careful about how they treated others. It is important to demonstrate respect and a sense of etiquette when dealing with investors, clients and market players.
Seigi Code of Righteousness and Justice The samurai cause, even in its violent manifestations, was based on honor. To develop a solid professional career is important to maintain integrity and loyalty in all business relationships.
Sessei Moderation and Temperance The samurai was aware of such approaches to his actions and attitudes. And we should apply them to our professional career to achieve balance in work and lifestyle. Excessive work in the absence of a more complete lifestyle can be deleterious to health and personal relationships.
Jizen Benevolence and Charity This is an indispensable part of our professional career since it helps to develop essential social values. Professionals that provide safer, healthier and fair products and services stand to perform better, leading a more fulfilled life.
Kibo Hope This hope was founded on the appreciation of life and the celebration of its more basic elements. No matter how difficult and trying things may become for us, we must remember to laugh, take a walk, and seek happiness in our professional career.
