Japanese Management & Staff Mediation

Are you Japanese management facing challenges with your American staff? Experiencing morale problems or high turn-over with your American staff?

Having a hard time understanding the behavior of your American staff and want to know what's on their minds?

Japanese and American management, work style, and professional expectations differ in several fundamental ways.
