社員に起業家精神を持ってもらうには
私のクライアントのあるCEOの方は、社の役員達に「ビジネスにはもっと起業家のようなアプローチをして欲しい」と要望しています。このようなことは他の会社でも見られるようになりました。
責任感とは備わっているものであり、与えられるものではない
A leader can never give anyone ownership of a business initiative or objective. Ownership is always taken, and to take ownership requires the will to do so. A leader can no more give someone ownership than a leader can give someone will.
一番ビジネスを左右するのは、バリューよりも指針である
ある企業ではイノベーションをそのバリュー（共通価値観）として掲げ、社員にもいつもイノベーションと書いたものが目につくようにしてはありますが、実際には、R&Dのスタッフも含め、誰かがイノベーションを生み出す姿が見られる事は滅多にありません。
誰もあなたのことを撃とうとしているわけではない
何年も前のことになりますが、当時自分の力でソフトウェア関連のビジネスを起こそうとしている起業家と話す機会がありました。彼はベトナム戦争時にCIA捜査官として働いていたそうで、ラオスでは多国籍特別部隊と時間を共にしたと言います。
人材とは募集するものではなく、引き抜くものである
Don’t recruit. Poach. In a tight labor market, there is no percentage in tentativeness. If there is any time to go on the offense, it is now. I don’t know why recruiting firms call what they do a “search.” Who cares about a search? A search is easy, and often consists of little more than trawling through LinkedIn.
[:en]The Acumen of Gender Diversity[:ja]ジェンダー・ダイバーシティーについての洞察[:]
[:en] Most global companies outside of Japan have targets for increasing numbers of women employees, particularly in management. And even in Japan where women are often given short shrift, more global companies now have such targets as well. However, the leaders of the most successful companies I know achieve their objective by doing things right that have nothing to do with women at all, and their businesses and all staff, both men and women, are better off as a result. If you are the leader of a business in Japan or anywhere else, whether your business is subject to diversity targets or not, below is what I advise.
[:en]Incentive Pay Doesn’t Work[:ja]インセンティブに効果はない[:]
[:en]If I offered you more money for results, would you change anything that you are doing now? I have asked this very question to numerous successful CEOs, and invariably the answer is no. I suspect yours is as well.
[:en]Work Less and Boost Productivity[:ja]勤務時間を減らして生産性を上げる[:]
[:en]If you want to increase productivity in your business, work less not more. A division of Microsoft Japan reduced the work week from five days to four, closing the office Fridays for everyone, and found productivity jumped forty percent! Yes, that’s right. Microsoft in Japan—not Microsoft in the United States or elsewhere. If Microsoft Japan can boost productivity in this way, so can you in your business.

[:en]Below are my list of the top twenty-one practices that accelerate your success as a leader based on the most successful business leaders I know.
[:en]Throw Your Lot in[:ja]誰の側に立つか[:]
[:en]On the morning of March 11, 2011, I picked out a tie, checked myself in the mirror, and then left the house to go to Tokyo without knowing that I would never again leave that house the same way. It was only hours later that the massive 3/11 earthquake struck Japan and its deadly tsunami ensued.
