Mr. Yamashita says “It's clear that a top-down approach alone cannot address all the challenges we face as organizations. By empowering your members, you as a leader unlock the potential for a collective and sustainable impact. I genuinely believe that when people find fulfillment through their work, it unleashes an abundance of creativity. I look forward to bringing this vision to life during the event and sharing first-hand experiences of how it benefits team members and customers.”
