Lesson #4: Challenge Conventions and Break the Mould
In 1989, along with the outspoken Japanese politician Ishihara Shintaro, Morita co-authored a book about Japan’s economic rise called, “The Japan That Can Say No.” In it, Morita criticized American business for what he saw as the “hollowing out” of the country’s economy.

Progress Trumps Perfection
In the late 17th century, Lord Chesterfield, an English writer and politician, wrote to his son, "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well."

Kyaizen An Old New Quality Concept
The Japanese word 'Kaizen' means gradual, unending improvement; doing little things better; setting - and achieving - ever-higher standards.

A Process For Quality

“We’re innovative in many small ways,” says Newmark. “When we see something that could be done better, we do it. This is the notion of kaizen, the Japanese practice of continuous business process reengineering.”
Analyzing the Power Struggle and Office Politics
Office politics can get messy. Make no mistake about it: no matter where you go in the world, you will always find political turmoil. Man and womankind are ego-driven creatures and will typically fight viciously when threatened. What can you do as an innocent bystander? You must find a compromise between playing the politician (which is always a risky game) and being a docile worker (who is frequently taken advantage of).

The Amazing Karaoke Decades Game
Living in Japan, one ends up in a karaoke box every now and then. I find that singing karaoke is a great way to relieve stress and bond with friends, new and old.
