Explore Organizational Culture and Leadership at a Special Event in Tokyo

Celebrating 'Organizational Culture and Leadership' in Tokyo

On August 1, a special event will take place in Tokyo to commemorate the launch of the fifth edition of "Organizational Culture and Leadership" by Edgar H. Schein. This significant work highlighted the dynamics between culture and leadership within organizations and has served as a cornerstone in the field of organizational psychology since its first Japanese translation in 1989. Now published by Hakutou Shobou, the latest edition addresses recent developments such as globalization, digital transformation, and the values of the millennial generation.

The event will be hosted by Trustyyle Co., Ltd., led by Yosuke Yoshida, the director of the Human Resource Library, a community aimed at HR professionals. Our guest speaker for the evening will be Professor Riki Uda from Aoyama Gakuin University, who has supervised and translated the Japanese version of this influential book.

During the event, Professor Uda will discuss the key messages that Schein intended to convey through this publication and how attendees can apply these insights in practical settings. This occasion will also provide a platform for exchanging opinions, allowing participants to dive deeper into the critical concepts surrounding organizational culture and how it can be shaped and changed.

Event Overview

Date and Time: August 1, 2025, from 19:00 to 21:00 (Doors open at 18:30)
Location: Human Resource Library, 6F WACROSS NINGYOCHO, 1-12-7 Kakigaracho, Chuo Ward, Tokyo, 103-0014

This is an ideal event for individuals who are either interested in or looking to understand organizational culture and its significance in today's workplace. Participants looking to cultivate or change a company’s internal culture or those who wish to explore fundamental concepts behind organizational culture are especially encouraged to attend.

What to Expect

The event aims to foster discussion about organization culture, its definitions, and its impact on leadership. Many business professionals use terms like “organizational culture” and “culture” in their work, however, few have had the opportunity to deeply explore their meanings. This event acts as a welcoming space for personal and professional growth.
