元ラグビー日本代表で、現在は山川出版社に勤める野澤武史さんは、人材には「リアクション型」と「アクション型」があると語ります。指示を待ち、周囲の動きに応じて動くのがリアクション型。一方で、自ら課題に気づき、先んじて行動するのがアクション型で、かつての野澤さんは、失敗を恐れてリアクション型になってしまっていたと言います。けれど、ラグビーでの経験や、出版社での挑戦を通じて、野澤さんは今、アクション型であることの価値を実感しているそうです。彼がいま伝えたいのは、失敗を恐れて動かないことのリスク、そして、動くことで初めて開ける景色。その思いを、野澤さんはまっすぐに語ります。 1979年、東京都生まれ。
