Navigating the Future: Key Strategies for Management Training Post-2024 Challenges

On October 21, 2025, Funai Soken Logi held an online seminar titled "Key Strategies for Management Training to Survive the Post-2024 Challenges," specifically tailored for logistics and transportation executives. This seminar aimed to address the concerns and challenges experienced by current management professionals.

Common Challenges Faced by Participants

Despite holding leadership titles, many attendees expressed their struggles. They felt that their roles were more akin to supervisory positions rather than actual leadership. Here are some key issues they highlighted:

- Many feel the need to enhance their leadership skills to better motivate their team and drive operations forward.
- While management tends to communicate thoughts and visions as business leaders, feedback often feels one-sided, creating a disconnect.
- Participants indicated a desire for effective communication with subordinates to become a crucial link between them and higher management.
- There’s a call to embrace modern management practices that accommodate digitization, labor compliance, and harassment issues, aligning with the current trends in the industry.

Key Points Discussed in the Seminar

The seminar provided insights into several important areas crucial for the development of effective logistics managers:

1. Identifying Reasons for Ineffective Management: Understanding the barriers that prevent the growth of managerial talent within organizations is essential for creating a supportive environment.

2. Encouraging Leadership: Strategies to foster an atmosphere where managers can demonstrate their leadership abilities were a focal point of discussion.

3. Promoting Actionability and Field Versatility: The session highlighted what high-performing managers do differently to convert strategies into action successfully.

4. Effective Communication Techniques: Sharing effective methods that have consistently resulted in higher retention among team members was also a part of the presentation.
