steps:
|
|
- headline: Identify what fell short
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The person or team identifies specifically where they fell short of
|
|
the standard or their own intentions — not to assign blame but to
|
|
see clearly.
|
|
- headline: Take personal responsibility
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Each person names their own contribution to the shortfall, without
|
|
deflecting to circumstances or others. Hansei is owned, not assigned.
|
|
- headline: Identify the root in oneself
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The person reflects on what within their own habits, assumptions, or
|
|
skills led to the shortfall, going beneath the surface action.
|
|
- headline: Commit to a concrete change
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The person commits to a specific change in practice or mindset and,
|
|
in a team context, shares it so others can hold them accountable.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A clear-eyed reckoning with one's own shortcomings produces a concrete
|
|
commitment to change, owned by the person themselves.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Hansei is not self-flagellation. It is honest seeing. If the reflection
|
|
does not lead to a specific change, it is incomplete. |
