[:en] You can’t motivate people. People must motivate themselves. All you can do is create circumstances for people to do so. In doing this, you must address the three Rs:
[:en]English is not just a Language, It’s a Mindset[:ja]英語はただの言語ではなく、ものの見方である[:]
[:en] Many Japanese companies, and not just foreign companies, are pushing their employees to improve English–some more than others.

[:en] CEOs often ask me this question, as most would like their team to propose ideas and alternatives to them.In Japanese culture, proposing an idea can be viewed as suggesting you know better than your boss, and that you disagree with his or her point of view. At best this can be interpreted as impertinence, at worst as insubordination.
[:en]The Fallacy of Monetary Incentives[:ja]金銭によるインセンティブに効果がない理由[:]
[:en] Most leaders view monetary incentives as the most important driver of performance, whereas most employees view it as the least important. Monetary incentives reduce performance to an economic transaction—an offer for a price—which he or she may accept or walk away from.
[:en]You Cultivate Leaders, Not Train them[:ja]リーダーとは育てるものであって、訓練するものではない[:]
[:en] You improve leadership capability through coaching and mentoring leaders in their current leadership roles, whether heads of small teams or of global organizations. Learning is applied in vivo, and feedback immediate.
