Imagina Hosts Seminar Addressing Leadership Shortage in Japan

Overcoming Japan's Leadership Crisis



In a startling revelation, approximately 83% of young professionals in Japan express a disinterest in assuming managerial roles. This alarming trend underscores a significant leadership void within Japanese companies, compounded by Japan's glaringly low rankings in management education. According to the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), Japan ranked a dismal 60th out of 64 countries when it comes to management education quality. This situation has given rise to a concerning norm: young individuals are stepping into management positions without sufficient training in interpersonal engagement, leading to organizational fragmentation.

Moreover, the pervasiveness of social media has drastically diminished empathy among the youth. A recent study conducted by the Charitable Aid Foundation (CAF) reveals that Japanese people rank last in contributing to others, with self-centered attitudes focused on efficiency and cost-effectiveness stifling the development of a cohesive corporate culture.

Why This Seminar Matters



To foster collective growth within organizations, it’s crucial to transition from rigid adherence to rules and manuals towards nurturing a 'contributive morality' (Emotional Quotient) among employees. Organizations that embed this ethos often experience a reduction in turnover rates and significant boosts in productivity, as supported by various studies. The upcoming seminar by Imagina aims to address this pressing need through its innovative 'Contributive EQ' leadership training. Unlike superficial techniques, it draws from top-tier academic research on organizational psychology and behavioral economics, hinting at genuine talent development and organizational transformation strategies.

Seminar Highlights


The seminar will reveal unique insights that prioritize scientific approaches over mere motivational theories:

Science-Based Approaches


Utilizing an understanding of human cognitive biases and instincts, the seminar will explore effective ways to translate learning from trainings into tangible outcomes.

Worldwide Assessment Standards


In partnership with Cambridge University, participants will visualize their 'Contributive EQ', which includes self-understanding, self-control, empathy, and collaborative attitudes.

Innovative Media Literacy Education


The seminar will incorporate media literacy approaches used in nations like Finland, applying these methods innovatively to corporate talent development.

This seminar is pivotal for rejuvenating Japan's competitive edge through robust talent cultivation. It targets CEOs, HR professionals, and media representatives seeking to address contemporary organizational challenges. We warmly invite everyone interested in these pressing issues to participate or cover the event.
