MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
Smile & Sexy
In short, “Smile & Sexy” is a
philosophy
that encourages us, as “storytellers,”
to tell our individual “personal stories” and our combined “company story”
beautifully, freely, openly,
and in a way full of human touch.
Smile & Sexy:
A “way of life,”
a road to a fulfilling,
happy “personal story”
Be Sexy!
Express yourself!
Smile!
Polish yourself!
Important key words for creating
"personal stories"
Decision making
- Decision making as no right or wrong answer
- Do not be afraid of making mistakes
- Keep yourself wary of genuine decision making
- Conduct decision making based on a human standard
- Conduct decision makingwith a grounding in your own experience and intuition
Individual for individual
- Each individual person treats their own way of thinking and way of living as important, acts by using that as a basis, and works to develop themselves.
- Even where there is an organization such as a company, always remain aware that the person you are dealing with is an independent individual, face each other, and provide assistance for self-development.
Self-disclosure
- Think about what it is you want to do in the future within your own heart and based on past experiences the more you are able to express all of that to others, the more you will transform to a new form of self-development and make progress.
- The more your times of self-disclosure increase, through forging a capacity for self-expression, the more your abilities will be polished, and the number of people who provide understanding, are empathetic, and provide support will increase.
