REVIEWS
A ‘lightbulb’ moment for me. Target gave me the perfect tool to use with my Japanese team, which (historically) has been very successful at hitting its targets year after year, regardless of how this was done. An ever changing world forced change to this approach, as hitting targets at any cost had become destructive. The principals of Japanese Kyudo keep the target as the focus but place importance on the ‘form’ to get there. The balance between ‘process’ and ‘results’. This applies to all businesses in any country… It’s working.
Paul Hardisty, President & Representative Director, Adidas/Reebok Japan
The book is inspiring and unique. The personal journey of Jérôme Chouchan in Japan and with Kyudo archery gives us an important message for our management in global companies – focus on the right things first and foremost: consumers and employees. Financial results will come as a consequence. Highly recommended.
Jorge Garduño, Representative Director and President, Coca-Cola (Japan) Co., Ltd.
