Great leadership isn't always about pushing harder or moving faster. Sometimes, it's about making space to reflect, putting people first, and thinking beyond the next quarterly result.

Japan is home to 41% of the world's companies over 100 years old. Their remarkable longevity offers a different perspective on leadership, one where compassion, purpose, and long-term thinking have a place alongside business performance.

Join GLOBIS Faculty Director and ordained Buddhist priest, Dr. Tadahiro Wakasugi, for an exclusive 60-minute webinar bringing these Japanese leadership principles to life through real-world examples and takeaways you can apply to your own context.

What you’ll learn 

• Why compassion is a leadership strength: How leading with empathy builds trust, inspires people, and creates lasting energy rather than burnout.
• What Japan's oldest companies know about long-term success: Lessons from businesses like 1,448-year-old Kongo Gumi on growing steadily, thinking beyond short-term profits, and building something that lasts for generations.
• How to find your kokorozashi (personal mission): What it means to lead with a purpose bigger than yourself, and how that purpose can guide your choices when the path forward isn't clear.

Who should attend?

• Professionals and managers looking to lead with greater authenticity, compassion, and purpose while building stronger connections within their teams.
• HR, L&D, and talent development professionals seeking new approaches to developing leaders within their organizations.
• Leaders questioning traditional management approaches who want to step back, reflect, and reconnect with their sense of purpose (kokorozashi).
• Anyone interested in Japanese approaches to sustainable, human-centered leadership.
