KuriYama Motor Co. Enhances Leadership with Coaching Training
KuriYama Motor Co., operating in Tokyo, Chiba, and Kanagawa, is committed to promoting sustainable practices through its business in used truck sales, purchasing, rentals, and parts sales. Recently, the company conducted its third management training session aimed at nurturing leadership among its managerial staff.
Held in November 2025, this training is designed as part of an ongoing effort to enhance employee empowerment and on-site capabilities. The focus this time was on a coaching approach to work delegation, utilizing the "Six Steps of Guidance" to learn appropriate engagement methods. The aim was to foster an environment where managers do not merely issue commands but encourage team members' thinking and judgment.
Participants reported valuable insights from the session, including the importance of adjusting delegation methods according to the maturity of the individual, the impact of reflective practices on the growth of team members, and the understanding that shared objectives tend to be lacking when the workload is heavy. These discussions highlighted practical learnings directly applicable to their daily operations.
Through this training, the organization is increasingly focusing on the role of managers as "developers" rather than just overseers of operations. This vision aims to cultivate a culture where supporting subordinates’ growth becomes a priority.
Insights from Participants
One participant shared, "In this training, I learned coaching techniques that draw out the other person's thinking. Previously, I often prioritized efficiency by giving detailed instructions. However, I realized that this can rob my subordinates of growth opportunities. Going forward, I want to implement a question-based approach to delegate tasks, fostering an environment where team members can think and act independently."
Future Outlook
KuriYama Motor Co. plans to continue its management training initiatives beyond 2025, focusing on the acquisition of coaching skills appropriate to various stages of development, establishing a culture of nurturing, and reinforcing habits of reflection.
