One of the secrets to succeeding in Japan is to strengthen your executive team. Add a very experienced team player as an outside board member.
The most important thing is that the management of your legal entity in Japan and headquarters pulls all the strings in the same direction. (This is why having a fully aligned Strategic Roadmap is of great importance.)
Unfortunately, the worst thing you see again and again is that companies are NOT "fighting" their competitors in Japan. They are "fighting" themselves inside their own company across borders. They "play politics" inside their own company that they are supposed to serve, and the "play politics" model is doomed to fail, big time.
An outside board member position has the beauty to support the local management, the executives, and teams who work with Japan across borders from an independent expert position. The outside board member can facilitate and trigger constructive discussion, new ideas and create new momentum with positive energy to motivate all stakeholders. From an expert position viewpoint as an outside director, it is also easier to bridge different opinions and business cultures for overall success.
Are you ready to move all-in and further strengthen your team for Japan?
You want to energize your local team by adding supporting pillars and stimulate refreshing new ideas within your organization.
You want to create a communication atmosphere that will focus on the job on hand instead of "playing politics."
You want your local and global teams to pull in the same direction. You do NOT want to see them wasting time with internal friction killing momentum.
You want to stop the fluctuation of top performers in Japan.
You feel more secure adopting the four-eye principle for risk management and good corporate governance.
It is very convenient (and very supportive) to have an experienced team player on board to consult. It helps, and it is valuable to get a second, third opinion, or sometimes a completely different alternative view.
