What have been the main lessons you have learned in your career and how do you implement them in your management?
True value is created by stepping beyond one’s own limits and taking on new challenges.
Ideas alone do not generate value; it is essential to take concrete actions to bring them to life.
Thoughts and intentions are rarely conveyed in a single attempt — it is important to continue expressing them in visible, tangible ways.
Respecting colleagues and embracing diverse perspectives are vital to creating new value together.
Goals as president:
To build a business portfolio that enables sustainable growth for the BOOKOFF Group, while fostering and developing future management talent and succession processes.
To ensure that the BOOKOFF Group continues to be recognized as the leading company in the reuse industry—one that is always seen as taking on exciting and meaningful new challenges.
Quotes:
“Ichigo Ichie” — a Japanese phrase meaning “once-in-a-lifetime encounter.”
It expresses the importance of treasuring each moment and every meeting as something unique and unrepeatable.
I believe that showing respect to every individual we meet and valuing human connections enriches our lives and creates a more meaningful journey.
