Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most prevalent and dangerous American misperceptions is the image of Japan as a faceless, impersonal, corporate entity. In The Human Face of Japan's Leadership, Weinstein gives a human face to the leaders who will lead that nation into the next century. In doing so, he gives the reader a better idea of what makes these men tick, of the experiences which have shaped their values, and their views of Japan and the world. Weinstein conducted approximately 100 hours of taped interviews with 12 internationalized Japanese leaders in their 40s and 50s, including four members of the Diet, four bureaucrats, and four businessmen. These interviews form the core of the book: 12 biographical portraits, presented as oral histories and largely in the participant's words. These are individual, personal accounts which begin with family and regional background and include childhood and youth in World War II and the Occupation: educational experiences and views of Japan's future. These accounts also shed light on how the system of educational meritocracy and family interact to produce Japanese leaders. Japan's leadership includes a relatively high proportion of people, who while insiders and members of their Establishment, are at the same time knowledgeable and at ease in foreign languages and cultures. These internationalized leaders are committed to successful interaction with the outside world. Weinstein's book will help Americans gain a more accurate, balanced view of their most important overseas trading partner and ally in the Pacific. It could easily serve as a supplementary text in many courses on Japan, ranging from history and politics to business and management.

Book excerpt: This edited book highlights the unique cultural and socioeconomic elements of Japan and the strong influence of those elements on women leaders in the nation. It shows that gender inequality and under-utilization of female talent are deeply rooted in Japanese society, explaining why Japan lags behind other countries in Asia in this regard. The contributors are expert academicians and practitioners with a clear understanding of Japanese women leaders' aspirations and frustrations. This book has critical implications for the development of women leaders in Japan, providing intriguing insights into developing the potential of highly qualified women leaders in diverse Japanese contexts in which traditional cultural expectations and modernized values coexist.

Book excerpt: Leadership Mosaics Across Japan is part of the nine research reports, put together by Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI), each covering an Asian country. These reports develop insights and solutions that help companies in Asia to build global leaders. Leadership Mosaics Across Japan is HCLI’s focus on Japan. Comprising two key sections, the first describes the prevalent characteristics that Japan business leaders tend to display and how they may need to adapt for the future. The second section turns the spotlight on Japan’s emerging leaders, and how they can make the next leap to become global leaders. As a practical takeaway, this report also includes a cheat sheet to help new foreign leaders in Japan hit the ground running. Leadership Mosaics Across Japan would not be possible without the support of many contributors. HCLI expresses its sincere gratitude to the C-suite (or equivalent) leaders who gamely agreed to be interviewed. Their insights, shared through honest and in-depth conversations, were invaluable in drawing out a more intricate mosaics of Japan leadership, both of its present and future, and of the incumbents and the emerging leaders. As Leadership Mosaics Across Japan continues to weave, validate, and event challenge what we know of business leadership in Asia, HCLI hopes that it will truly help companies in Asia build global leaders.
