Upcoming Live Session on Schoo

The acclaimed learning platform, Schoo, will feature an engaging live session on May 16, 2025, where Kenichiro Kasai, the Director of NEWONE, will present insights on a crucial transition in professional careers—moving from being a top-performing player to a leadership role as a manager. This session will elucidate both the challenges and strategies associated with this significant career shift.

About the Session

Titled "From Player to Manager: Navigating the Transition," the session will take place online from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM Japan Standard Time. Participants can expect a deep dive into the common obstacles faced by professionals who, after achieving success as individual contributors, struggle to adapt to their new managerial responsibilities. Managerial roles often entail balancing direct operational tasks while effectively managing a team, a challenge that many face as they step into leadership positions.

Kasai will draw on his expertise in organizational and human resource development to guide attendees through the nuances of this transition. He will discuss how former players can overcome the managerial 'wall' they encounter, highlighting the differences in roles, essential team-building strategies, and the mindset shifts required for successful management.

This session is particularly beneficial for individuals who are newly appointed to managerial positions or those currently balancing the responsibilities of a player-manager. It aims to provide actionable insights that attendees can apply immediately in their roles.

Background

Many organizations traditionally assign managerial roles to successful performers, expecting that their previous accomplishments will translate into effective leadership. However, it’s not uncommon for freshly promoted managers to confront feelings of inadequacy, as the skills that led to their initial success may not suffice in their new responsibilities.

As these managers often juggle administrative duties with overseeing their team's performance, they might fall into the trap of believing it’s quicker to complete tasks themselves rather than delegating. Such thinking can lead to increased workload and missed opportunities for team development. Kasai aims to educate on the necessity of fostering a collaborative environment and the importance of shifting one’s mindset towards team success.
