Taro Tanaka
不動産株式会社・CEO
Real estate consultant・12 yrs
I have worked as a real estate consultant for 12 years and currently serve as CEO of a real estate company. I always strive to listen to people and understand their perspectives when I approach my work.
Work ethic
How do you interact with people and make decisions in your daily work?
Taro Tanaka
I always make a conscious effort to listen to and understand what others are saying. In the real estate field, I interact with people from diverse backgrounds and with different ways of thinking, so I first try to understand as much as possible what they are thinking and feeling. Only then do I try to convey my own thoughts. When making decisions, I also try to proceed after understanding the other party's intentions and background.
origin
Please tell me about the origins that led to your current way of thinking and interacting with people.
Taro Tanaka
Previously, I only thought about things from my own perspective, but at some point, I realized that there are many things I can see from the other person's point of view. Through that experience, I realized that there are things I couldn't see from my own perspective alone. I think that by starting to see things from the other person's point of view, the way I interact with people and the way I think have gradually changed.
turning point
Have you noticed any instances where your way of thinking or interacting with others has changed?
Taro Tanaka
Originally, I didn't listen to everyone's opinions much, but once I started listening, my perspective broadened. Knowing that everyone has different thoughts and backgrounds has broadened my own range of choices and judgments. I believe that this process continues even now.
life
How do you spend your time outside of work?
Taro Tanaka
I cherish the time I spend going to cafes and experiencing new things through travel. I feel that stepping away from my daily routine and experiencing new places and atmospheres calms my mind and refreshes me. This time also supports me when I face my work again.
future
What kinds of people and themes would you like to be involved with in the future?
Taro Tanaka
From now on, I want to support people who want to try new things. I myself value new experiences, so I hope to be able to help people who are taking on such challenges. I want to continue to be involved with people while listening to their voices.
