When talking to my senior daughter, there is one opinion that we always agree on.

'I can accept what people I like say, even if it's a harsh opinion.'

on the other hand,

'I am 100% pissed off by everything that is said by someone I don't like, regardless of the merits of it.'

This is a view shared by my daughter, a working newcomer, and myself, a working senior.

For supervisors (including school teachers), "not being disliked" is extremely important from the perspective of organizational management.

I have read a little bit about Adler, however, his arguments were not very helpful to me honestly.

I do not know the contents of the book "The Courage to Be Disliked," but it would be a big problem if "the courage to be disliked" in the sense of the title were implemented in an organization.

That is because it is synonymous with "the collapse of management in an organization.

We do not, as a rule, 'try to like someone we don't like'.

We cannot afford such huge costs for someone we don't like.

It's easier to continue to dislike someone like that honestly.

Hence, at least for me, 'when I get a work order from someone I don't like, I carry out the matters within the scope of that order and no more'.

'If I do more than what someone I don't like, he/she might be pleased' -- just the thought makes me unpleased.

However, it is no problem that "the courage to be disliked" can be demonstrated somewhere away from the organization.

I agree and practice it -- or rather, it is my default.

However, those who are not afraid to brag things like "the courage to be disliked" within their organizations are extremely annoying.

I, 14 years ago, also wrote -- with the "food waste" metaphor.
