If you decide to learn just one Japanese word, make it Kaizen.
In management, “kai” means change, and “zen” means improvement, representing the aim of ongoing enhancement through small, systematic steps.
While we often link kaizen to the operations of manufacturing companies, we rarely delve into how this respected Japanese philosophy is utilized at the highest levels of corporate organizations.
Rather than having senior management simply issue orders and apply pressure, they prioritize gathering insights from lower levels. By promoting the exchange of positive practices across various departments and encouraging open communication, the entire organization can flourish together and remain aligned.
To implement this effectively, it’s crucial to involve every team member, with management being transparent, open to feedback, and supportive of new ideas. By taking the small changes suggested by individuals, testing them, empowering mid-level managers to make decisions about their implementation, and communicating these changes throughout the organization, a pathway to success is established.
