Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Rockets Raydio. This channel was started as a part of our activities to boost the power of creating 'the joy of work'! We will be sharing various perspectives on the joy of work.

Go:. It's started! It's the first time!"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. First time!"

Go:. 'There's something I need to decide first! Super important!"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. What is it?"

Go:. This Rockets Raydio, it's how hard we're going to make it!"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. ...... hardness?"

Go:. Yes! Will it be crispy, gurgling, or muffled? No, it's going to be poofy! No!

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. (Chuckles) I mean, how casual do you want to be?"

Go:. I'm usually pretty rigid in my work, but I want this to be a place where I can talk more freely! I'm pretty rigid in my everyday work, but I want this to be a place where I can talk more freely."

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I think that's right. But I want to make it a place where people can think about working properly, not just casually talk about it.

Go:. Then the direction should be 'casual, but a little serious'!"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Now, as for today's theme, have you thought about it?"

Go:. "Let's see, ...... (rasping) Oh! This this this! I was going to tell you about 'Chief of Staff'!"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Oh, chief of staff! You hear that a lot in the U.S., but it's not so familiar in Japan."

Go:. Yes, yes. Actually, this role seems to have evolved from the military chain of command."

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I'm sure you've seen them in many Netflix dramas, like "Designated Survivor". For example, 'Designated Survivor. That was really interesting."

Go:. Marcy said, "Yeah, that was in the government sector, but in the English-speaking business world, the role of chief of staff is well established in the corporate world as well. I think this is very similar to what Marcy has done in the past, both in large corporations and venture businesses, where this role has been very important..."

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I see. Let's look at them one at a time."

Go:. ."Harvard Business Review article on 2020I'll talk about the role played by the Chief of Staff in the following section, so let's talk about it underlined here. First of all, you say you're an air traffic controller. That sounds cool!　But the point is to organize the top management's instructions and convey them to the various departments.

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I think that's right. It's a role that overlooks the entire organization and controls it so that instructions are not confusing.

Go:. In other words, like getting inside the president's head and getting the information out to everyone at the right time?"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Yes, I'm like an air traffic controller who organizes the landing order for planes with lots of people on board.

Go:. "Oh, does this mean you're the one who connects?"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. That's right. It is a role to break down the barriers between departments and facilitate cooperation.

Go:. "Ah, you mean bridging between departments, because companies tend to be siloed."

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Yes, it's important to have a holistic viewpoint. Especially in a large company, each department has different objectives, so it's important to have a holistic viewpoint."

Go:. Is this like translating for the president?"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. It's close, isn't it? It's a role that communicates the vision of the top management to the entire organization at the right temperature.

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. When the top management says, "Profit is important! then the front line may say, "Oh, you mean all we have to do is cut costs? In such cases, there are potentials that can make a big profit in this business. In such cases, it is important to have someone who can appropriately "translate" the message and convey it from various angles: "This business has the potential to generate large profits, which is an amazing thing, and it is a dream come true for the next big expansion. That's why I'm saying profits are important..."

Go:. This one has a really strong name, doesn't it?"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Ignore him. Yeah, you're saying that this is simply the role of giving honest opinions, even to the top."

Go:. I see. So you need someone who can say, 'I think that's wrong,' instead of a yes-man."

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Yes, yes. You're the one who gives tough feedback for the organization, sometimes even to the top management."

Go:. What does this mean?"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. This means that the chief of staff should not have an agenda. It means that we need to operate fairly, not from the standpoint of our own career advancement or reputation.

Go:. Ah, it's true that if there are factional disputes within the management team, it's hard to move in a fair manner.

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I think it's important to have a position that is purely for the benefit of the company as a whole. It's important to have a position that genuinely works for the company as a whole."

Go:. Hmmm...so a chief of staff is not just a right-hand man, but a kind of lubricant that keeps the organization running smoothly!"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. That's exactly right. It's a very important position because of the wide variety of roles.

Go:. Then let's move forward with our next guest talk project!"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Now, there is one last thing to decide."

Go:. What is it?"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. What did you say earlier about the name of this program?"

Go:. Rockets Radio?"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. No, no, it's ROCKETS RADIO.

Go:. "REDIO?"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. No, no, no, RADIO.

Go:. RocketsRadio!"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. Oh yeah, ROCKETS RADIO.

Go:. Rockets..."

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. ".... Reydio!　... Let's practice."

Go:. Yeah. I'll practice... W"

Marcy: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. See you next time. Rockets, this was Raydio! Bye-bye!"

Go:. Bye-bye."
