Points to Note When Analyzing Occupations and Jobs – Common Mistakes –

Now, I think you should have a good understanding of the importance of "motivation: why (WHY)" and "field/role (WHAT)" in occupational categories, as introduced in success formulas 1 and 2.

Here,This article explains common classification errors people make when analyzing the "field/role (WHAT)" of a profession.If you get the classification wrong here,The flow of energy in workWORK FLOW」This also affects those downstream (③ and ④), and can lead to failure when people actually take on that job, realizing "it's not what I imagined!"

Example: The professional field of a physician

For example, some people may want to become doctors solely because they want to help others (their motivation: WHY).
And when most people hear the word "doctor," they immediately categorize them as follows. This certainly applies to many "surgical" doctors. (For example, dentists would also fit this description.)

• Doctor → supportHelping people ＋ Execute the taskPerform surgery

However, that's not always the case.

For example, let's consider the case of a "psychiatrist."
Their role will likely be solely "supportive," without performing any surgeries or other procedures.

• Psychiatrist → supportHelping people ＋ Execute the taskPerform surgery

Also, research physicians who primarily focus on cell research are also classified as follows:

• Research doctor →
  • investigation...to conduct research
  • Founding...deciding on a new research topic
  • Execute the task...Caring for laboratory mice (if no one else can do it for you)
  • Connections... conducting collaborative research with members of other research labs and presenting findings at academic conferences.

Therefore, the emphasis shifts more towards "research."

✖ Research doctor → support ＋ Execute the task
〇 Research doctor → investigation ＋ Founding ＋ Execute the task + Connections (+ Celebrity)

Therefore, even though research physicians are doctors, their work is not so much similar to support work as it is closer to that of a "researcher and scientist."

〇 Research physician → Closer to a scientist.

Furthermore, research physicians often write and publish papers and interact with other researchers,Building connections to promote yourself is also important.This is the result.
Famous scholars are well-known, often publish books, and conduct seminars.In that case, their role becomes even closer to that of a celebrity (entertainer, public figure).

For any profession other than medicine, let's investigate the specific duties involved.

Does your field of work change as you get promoted?

I hope you understand that even within the broad category of "doctor," there are diverse areas of practice.
Furthermore, when a doctor takes on the role of hospital director, a management position, the "field/role (WHAT)" changes.

• Hospital Chairman → The progress of events + Connection

This can sometimes be the primary factor.

This is true not only across industries, but often, as one advances in their career, the "field/role (WHAT)" of their work changes.。

Here are some easy-to-understand examples:

• School teacher → support
• Principal → The progress of events+ Connection

This is something that can be seen in many office workers (salarymen, office ladies).
When an entry-level employee is promoted and becomes president, the following changes occur:

• Regular employee → Execute the task ＋ Organize
• President (CEO) → The progress of events + Connection

When considering a job that interests you, it's a good idea to pay close attention to these points.
