Leadership Redefined: Hue-ish Launches 'PlayView Channel' Podcast

In today's rapidly evolving world, the traditional definitions of leadership are being challenged. Hue-ish Corporation, located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has taken the initiative to address this pressing issue. With a focus on the concept of 'Unlearn', the company has launched a new audio podcast titled 'PlayView Channel', set to debut in August 2025. This captivating program aims to share the genuine conflicts and stories of leaders—CEOs, HR personnel, and managers—who are currently navigating the turmoil of organizational change by letting go of their past successes and updating their perspectives.

The Importance of 'Letting Go' in Leadership

In recent years, a recurring sentiment among leaders and organizations has been the realization that traditional methods no longer suffice. The strategies that once yielded results have become ineffective in the current landscape. Many leaders feel a disconnect with evaluation systems and management styles, while a palpable gap exists between younger and veteran employees, as well as between players and managers.

What is the source of this dissonance? It could very well stem from our entrenched 'norms'—the assumptions we've built over time. Recognizing this is a crucial moment for leaders; rather than acquiring new skills, they may need to develop the strength to release their past 'answers'. This process of letting go is what we refer to as 'Unlearn'.

What Is 'PlayView Channel'?

'PlayView Channel' is a podcast created and distributed by Hue-ish Corporation. Its guiding principle is to serve as a platform for exploring leadership by encouraging listeners to experiment with and challenge their viewpoints. Rather than focusing solely on acquiring new skills or discovering the 'right' answers, the show aims to disturb previous perspectives slightly and open new avenues for exploration.

The title 'PlayView' encapsulates three core meanings:
1. Play: to test and create
2. View: perspective and viewpoint
3. Preview: observing others' perspectives

By engaging with other leaders' views and gaining insight into their perspectives, listeners are encouraged to question and re-evaluate their own 'norms' and 'answers', thus expanding their intellectual toolkit. From this foundation, the program invites listeners to 'Play', to experiment with new ideas and approaches.

Through exposure to various leaders' insights, listeners may discover fresh perspectives that can significantly benefit their management styles and team dynamics.

Guest Leaders You Can Expect

Future episodes will feature a diverse group of respected leaders, including:

- CxOs and CEOs
- HR and organizational development professionals
- Mid-level managers and frontline leaders

The common thread among these guests is their willingness to embrace change by letting go of traditional practices and gradually unlocking their potential and perspectives. Each episode will delve into their authentic experiences of pivotal moments, encompassing conflicts, decision-making challenges, and the process of redefining their leadership approach.

Example Discussion Topics

- What did you let go of when traditional success patterns ceased to work for you?
- What new perspectives and ways of being did you encounter as a result?
- What does 'good leadership' mean to you?

The show is also open to guest applications and nominations, inviting interested parties to reach out via email or social media.

Why Radio? A More Flexible Approach to Change

As Hue-ish approaches its third anniversary, it's essential to engage in thoughtful reflection. Initially, the organization centered its efforts on ‘family’ issues, but as interactions and discussions broadened, it became clear that the deeply held beliefs and narratives needed to be reexamined.

Questions such as, 'Are our intentions self-serving?' and 'What are our present desires rather than past ones?' prompted a significant pivot towards the idea of 'the power to change'. The organization's focus evolved into supporting individuals and organizations throughout their transformation processes over the next six months.

Through our experiences with personal transitions and business endeavors, we consistently observe that the spark of change often originates from an individual’s subtly shifting perspective. Therefore, 'PlayView Channel' intends to provide more freedom and encouragement for introspection without being constrained by past assumptions, empowering individuals to continually update their identity.

Ultimately, we aim to offer enlightening listening experiences for those committed to challenging existing paradigms.
