Mr. Kitashiro's Lecture

On Monday we had our second guest speaker, Mr. Rakutaro Kitashiro. Thank you Mr. Kitashiro to giving  an inspiring lecture, and thank you to Ken for inviting him :) Listening to his lecture, I imagined how great it is to have him as a boss.

As Chisato said, I also expected that he is powerful. But he was calm and broad-minded, thoughtful... After the lecture, I was just curious and asked him when he gets angry. He answered, "About three times a year. I don't get angry. But I sometimes have to pretend to be angry if the staffs didn't try to understand customers' needs.
He also gave some good tips for leaders: Pick the best people and put them to the right position. He had a lot in common with Shackleton, because putting the best people in the right position requires the leader to pay close attention to the workers. 

Let me write some tips I received in order not to forget the lecture.

• do your best at current job
• don't take the easy job(in the difficult job, you can learn more and more)
• try to do what is right for the customers
• 3 is the magic number!
• be capable of making decisions
• don't forget that employees are always watching their leader
• set the goal, how to achieve
• don't get angry with people who delivered
• decide what is important and not
• be yourself!

I hope to meet him again!
