What have been the main lessons you have learned in your career and how do you implement them in your management?
I particularly care about listening to employees' words, visiting manufacturing sites and market sites, checking with my own eyes and grasping the actual situation.
Mentors
Toyo Tanso’s founder, Mr. Teruhisa Kondo, gave me many lessons, such as how to communicate and see the importance of people’s thinking.
