33 More Reasons to be Proud

Ruth’s book is gaining increased notoriety as the video introduction to the book and its concept has reached over 50,000 views on Youtube. This is quite the feat for a video released in Japanese.

Ruth here expresses her hope for the new year in Japan to be filled with Love, appreciation, and peace. Looking back on her recent trip to her hometown in Hawaii in which she met many traveling Japanese people, she was once again struck with the realization that the Japanese mindset, approach, and manners differentiate them from others when abroad. She urges them to see themselves not as unfortunately different from the rest of the world, but unique, and in a position to share and learn as to bring greater prosperity and human relations between Japan and the world. Moreover, she highlights the importance of playing an active role in achieving this, and taking pride in being a member of a generally industrious and dedicated race. This is said very well in succinct and simple Japanese; pretty good for what I’m guessing was a first take!

HRM – Empowerment, that’s HRM’s mission

During a time of need

Seminar Speaker: Ruth Jarman Shiraishi

Topic: 33 More reasons to be Proud

Ruth, who is also an HRM director, felt that the publishing of her book was a blessing from friends. Her articles were originally in Monthly Bigaku, published by Higashi-san. Yumiyama-san, the president of HRM recommended the articles be published to Asa publishing, upon which the president of Asa, Sato-san, turned it into a best-seller.

There were two parts of the speech that left a special impression.

(Driver’s in Japan don’t honk their horns). Japanese people in general are very aware of their surroundings when driving, but even when the car in front of another doesn’t notice the signal has turned green, drivers will not honk their horns.

When doing business with Indian people, a lot of gaps tend to open up in the conversation. Due to this,, Indians tend to be very forward and sometimes demanding. However, Japanese people respect the gaps in conversation and hold back. In this sense, Ruth recommends that we relax, take our time, and try and have a good mutual business negotiation.

As of now, Ruth is also appearing on television and in magazines. Her book is number 3 on Amazon, and total book sales are now over 8,000.

It was a very empowering speech for Japanese people who need energy more than ever.

Seminar Speaker: Tadao Shigenaga

A true pioneer in the concept of employee satisfaction, he continues to investigate what makes a good company as the president at Tree of Life.

He states that the 3 core factors of a company, “your own thoughts”, “your company’s thoughts”, and “social needs” must be blended and taken seriously.

What is human resources?

A company that cares about its employees and their thoughts, talents, and desires will bring about success for all, and furthermore bring up employees who think the same way.

The thing that left the biggest impression was “socialized self”. This is truly a deep and meaningful phrase. It conquers the common Japanese problem of confused and counteractive private and social lives.

Communication between managers and employees:

1. Speak of visions

2. Create Value

3. Feel grateful for progress

4. Take in your surroundings

5. Enjoy your work

6. Be proud of your influence on others

7. Plant the seeds for what’s to come

8. Don’t blame others

9. Love the company and it’s members, be proud

10. Be caring and observant

I personally will be reading the article very soon, and I look forward to getting further insight on Japan from someone who has been around the block a few dozen times.

In my opinion, Japan can, at times, seem like a very introverted nation; they have “their way” of doing things, and generally think it is incompatible with “other ways”. Although this is for the most part a stereotype, compared to other nations, Japan may not seem as bold and ambitious as others when it comes to foreign relations in business. However, they have a lot to offer and Ruth is doing what she can to let them know that now is the time to shine.

Check out Ruth’s facebook page to follow her updates on the book.

And listen to her podcast to hear a great discussion of the book, and also Japanese society and politics.
