Understanding Employee Development: A Management Seminar in Nagano

Upcoming Seminar on Employee Development

On August 28, 2025, Imajina, Inc. will host a seminar in Nagano for business leaders and managers focused on the theme, "Why Aren't Subordinates Growing?" The event is titled, "Praising, Criticizing, Delegating, and Running Alongside: Practical Management Strategies for Employee Development and Organizational Change." This seminar will leverage insights from psychology and neuroscience to provide practical examples of how managers can effectively nurture their teams.

Background of the Seminar

Many leaders express frustrations such as, "I give directions, yet nothing happens," or "When I delegate, it feels like abandonment, and when I reprimand, I face resistance." These common dilemmas often stem not from a lack of employee capability but from the way managers engage with their teams. Excellent strategies can only be executed by people, and if left unattended, they won't flourish. Overbearing management also stunts independence. Therefore, a balance in management style—between praising, criticizing, delegating, and partnering—is essential. But surprisingly few managers have mastered this optimal approach.
