Few words, and still it moves forward.
ビジネス関係 ／ one of the sixteen relations
Do something together and it simply moves. The arrangements mesh, the values do not collide. An association built around the task at hand is the best form for these two.
BUSINESS
01 When you first meet
Work starts at once
Talk of the task is quick. Your sense of arrangements is close, and what needs deciding is decided at once. The division of roles settles naturally. As someone to do something with, there is no trouble from the start.
On the other hand, small talk does not continue. Away from the task, no common topic can be found. Not awkward; there is simply nothing to talk about.
As a working partner, this relation is complete from the start.
02 After a while
You do not know each other much
It happens that you have worked together for years and know almost nothing of the other's private life. There is trust. Only, it never becomes talk of the inner life.
What you hold dear differs, so the object of the other's enthusiasm does not register. No denial, and respect too. Only, it is not shared.
For that, there is no friction either. Values do not collide because they are never set against each other in the first place. As someone in the same organisation, this is quite easy.
03 If it is to last
You can team up again any time
The project ends, the department changes, the deal closes. There, contact breaks off. No quarrel, and not much regret either.
Even so, once there is a task again, it is back to normal at once. A gap causes no trouble. This relation can be started up whenever it is needed.
If this is someone you want to keep, creating a shared task is the surest way. It will not last on small talk, but with work it lasts for years.
Telling it from other relations
There are several relations where "the distance never closes". They divide by whether the work meshes.
- The difference from super-ego
- Super-ego does not mesh even in work. Polite, but no progress. Business, in work, moves for certain. This is the decisive difference.
- The difference from kindred
- Kindred fits in talk yet diverges in the steps. Business is the reverse: the steps fit yet talk does not continue. The places that mesh are swapped.
- The difference from illusionary
- Illusionary is pleasant to be with but does not move. Business has no particular pleasantness but moves.
Where this relation is useful
Where a purpose is shared, this is among the easiest of the sixteen to handle.
- Suited to joint work
- Arrangements mesh and values do not collide. As a working partner it functions beyond any comfort score.
- You do not have to try to be close
- Try to close the distance and both are at a loss. An association built around the task, as it is, is the best form of this relation.
- Use the task to maintain the relation
- Breaking off causes no problem, but for someone you want to keep, creating a shared task is the sure method.
