In this episode, I reflect on a deep issue I have observed in Japanese companies: many executives seem to have lost the ability to truly trust their employees. Drawing on my own background in sales, I share how freedom once allowed workers to grow, while today’s environment of GPS tracking, rigid manuals, and excessive reporting has created a culture of micromanagement. I compare this with the broader tolerance and flexibility of Japan’s Showa era, when trust gave employees room to develop. I argue that without restoring freedom and trust, companies risk losing innovation, growth, and outstanding human potential.
