Event Overview

On June 3, 2025, a unique event titled HR Spark! Day will be held in Tokyo. This gathering will feature prominent speakers: Dai Tamesue, a former Olympic medalist and author of Mastery Theory, and Yuji Kobayashi, an expert in human resources and author of Punitive Management. Together, they will explore the future of management and communication within organizations.

Purpose of the Event

In recent years, the importance of meaningful dialogue in the workplace has come to the forefront as remote work becomes more prevalent. Organizations are increasingly asking: How can we facilitate genuine communication in team dynamics? Some firms have adopted superficial practices that hinder authentic conversations, leading to a rift among management. This event aims to challenge these norms and facilitate deeper discussions about the evolving role of leadership in nurturing a culture of dialogue.

Key Themes

1. Challenges of Dialogue: Tamesue will share his insights on continuous growth and development, integrating his athletic experience with the challenges faced in corporate management. He will present a framework of five stages of personal growth, correlating them with the role of management.

2. Redefining Management: Kobayashi will address the ongoing debate between advocates for open dialogue and skeptics who argue for structured communication. His presentation will focus on what he terms as the “Social Connection 2.0” which seeks to rebuild the fabric of interaction in modern organizations.

3. A Special Interface: Following their respective presentations, Tamesue and Kobayashi will engage in a unique switch interview format, sparking a dynamic discussion enriched by audience questions. This will provide attendees with direct insight and a chance to engage with the experts.
