The No. 1 hero and so-called 'God of sword,' Miyamoto Musashi, reveals the secrets of his 60 victories in a book called 'The Five Wheel Book (五輪書).'
First, do not hesitate after you decided to attack. (Decision making)
Second, do not be tied to the way of grasping a sword. (Flexibility)
Third, do not look at the act of the opponent but through his heart and mind.
I think that a victor of an era in history gives a lesson to today's leaders. Today I will talk about how I think about the leader and leadership of SIMMTECH.
A leader should have verified ability and personality. A leader should not reign over his followers with his academic background, working experience or position in the organization, but should speak with his ability and persuade others with his personality to lead his followers.
Such leader is a flexible person, who not only strengthens his ability through continuous self-improvement, but also hands down his knowledge and skill to the followers. At the same time, he will constantly accept new information and technology.
Such leader does not evaluate his followers by their act, but by their hearts, and shares his heart with them to communicate. He doesn't cling to the 'Desk Theory,' but takes action after decisions, and takes full responsibility for the results. His lively organization is not loud, but in order and is full of respect for each other.
Such leader's leadership starts as a 'Follow Me' controlling type, which transforms into an empowering type to nurture young generations, and finally evolves to the stage of 'Tranquil Charisma,' like the way a conductor makes a beautiful harmony with his orchestra without saying a word.
Leaders of SIMMTECH, what kind of a leader do you make? Do you make decision in the field? Are you flexible enough to read the hearts of your followers? We can take closer steps to "To the Integrity" when our capabilities and personalities mature.
Presently, all of our internal information is available online, and real-time manufacturing process is also provided to our customers. Financial statements and critical decisions are open to public through official notice. I hope that the faith and trust that we built through a long time will now naturally flow out to the world, and be assessed as our capability, high spirit and integrity.
Now is the time!
With honest leadership of each one of you, I wish that SIMMTECH will become a company that is recognized and respected by our society.
TO THE INTEGRITY!
