There are many cultural differences in business between the US and Japan. In order to effectively manage and motivate employees in the US, it is imperative that Japanese expat managers not only understand those differences, but also possess the skills to actually manage performance at overseas offices.
In this online seminar, Japanese managers learn the most important management skills to effectively run overseas offices, such as;
-
How to give effective and results-driven feedback both informally and in performance evaluations.
-
How to give action oriented instructions
-
How to counter when your stuff says NO
Expat managers also learn how to maximize performance and productivity by having direct conversations, how to incorporate defined performance objectives into their feedback, and how to use assertive communication techniques, a communication style that many American employees expect.
Through our real life case studies and role playing exercises, we help new Japanese expats develop the necessary confidence in managing local hires in the new environment. Separately, we have “Coaching Skill Training for Managers” course where attendees can try their management skills during extensive roleplay sessions. Please consider attending both “Management Skill Training” and “Coaching Skill Training”.
