In Japanese companies, “ojisan” (old men who don't work) are often regarded as “gokutubushi” (a kind of “deadbeat”) and are severely shunned. Especially for salaried workers, who are the top earners, it is very discouraging to have an old fart who does not work, even though he is highly paid. However, I would like to argue that the “non-working uncle” also has a purpose in the company.

An essential part of leadership is trust between people. Subordinates follow the president because they feel that the president trusts them. It sounds simple, but how many companies in the world have mutual trust between the president and employees?

It is common for people to misremember the reading and meaning of words. However, working in a Japanese company, we do not have a culture where such mistakes are casually pointed out to others. The problem of declining academic performance in Japan is not a new one. I am concerned that this will lead to a decline in Japan's national strength in the future.

Few bosses will hold you back when you say you want to leave the company. A boss who stops you and tells you not to quit is extremely valuable.
-
If you are in sales, you will probably be told by the president to take on new customers. Of course, if you don't get new clients, the company's business may be drowned out. However, it is often the case that companies are so focused on new business that they neglect to take care of existing customers. From a long-term perspective, taking care of existing customers is more important than acquiring many new customers.
-
Some kind of study is necessary to stay in business. Reading, watching films, meeting and talking to people is also learning. What I consider essential is travelling. The most important study for a businessman is travelling. However, it is better to travel without any prior knowledge than to seriously study the destination before setting out on a journey. This is because there is no point in travelling by merely tracing knowledge. Aimless, wandering journeys can have a lot of meaning later on.

Some Japanese salarymen still have the spirit of company loyalty. On the other hand, there are those who do not have a company spirit. Times are changing, but in the new world, it is time for Japanese salarymen to reconsider the concept of the spirit of company loyalty.
-
The state in which a person is immersed in something is called a flow state. To be successful in any task, you will be closer to success if you are in a flow state. This is especially important in a job like door-to-door sales, where you have to increase the number of visits you make to customers in a single-minded way.

It is part of Japanese corporate culture to have well-wishers in smoking areas. We consider the pros and cons of this.
-
When changing jobs, you should prioritise your interest in the job. This is because it is painful to continue in a job that you are not interested in. If you change jobs because you prioritise the content of the job, you can change jobs and do the same job again even if the working environment at the workplace is bad, or even if the company goes bankrupt.

The idea of setting goals and then making and implementing plans to achieve them seems to be unique to modern man. It is certain that this way of thinking has promoted the development of science and technology, and has brought tremendous benefits to humankind. However, what if we look at it from the perspective of the true happiness of individuals living in the modern age? I believe that it is a question that cannot be easily answered, which of us is truly happy when we compare the human beings of today with the savages of ancient times?
-
Few people sincerely want to be introduced to or sold a product by a salesperson. Even in Japan, salespeople spend a great deal of time on the phone to potential customers. From a larger perspective, this is creating economic losses. Nevertheless, salespeople still have to sell products to customers. That is the fate of salespeople.
-
Learning is essential to winning in the business world. However, if you study because you think you can make money by studying this field, eventually more and more people will study that field and it will become scarce. Knowledge becomes commoditised.
-
When you are a salesperson and a customer asks you to prepare a quotation, you are very happy. But not all quotations lead to a contract. Depending on the industry, sales techniques and marketing, sometimes the customer does not buy the product at all, even after submitting a quotation. For a salesperson, a request for a quotation that has little chance of closing a deal is like a tired profit from a lost quotation.
-
Stereotypes of salespeople exist in Japanese corporate society. The stereotype is that salespeople are loud, cheerful and good talkers. Of course, I do not deny the existence of such salespeople, but on the other hand, I do not mind the existence of salespeople with a quiet voice. I defend the type of salesperson who has a quiet voice, who talks in a blur, and who is introverted. Because a company should be diverse.

For salaried workers, a relationship with a recruitment consultant is probably essential when looking for a job. In this episode we talk about how to build a good relationship with a recruitment consultant.

Japanese salarymen often hide their individuality relatively well within the company. Presidents are often unique, but there are two main types of president: taciturn and talkative. Which type of president should you follow when employed by a company as an employee? There is no general answer to this, but you should also consider your own personality and its compatibility with that of the boss.
-
Excessive legal compliance may make it difficult for employees to work. The problem is that people in management are only concerned with making sure that employees follow the rules. The purpose of business activity is to make a profit - simply put, to make money. If companies are only concerned with making rules, such companies will decline.
-
A culture of respect for older people used to exist in Japan in the past, but this feeling has faded in recent years. This is due to people's growing sense of equality. However, it is not very beautiful to see young people not respecting old people.
