Is Management Really a 'Penalty Game'? Understanding the Misconceptions Behind Not Wanting to Be a Manager: The Key to 'Pre-Management' for Saving Organizations

Alue Inc. (HQ: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Bunshiro Ochiai; Securities Code: 7043), a provider of educational services for professionals, announces a free online seminar for HR personnel titled: 'Is Management Really a 'Penalty Game'? Understanding the Misconceptions Behind Not Wanting to Be a Manager: The Key to 'Pre-Management' for Saving Organizations.'

■ Seminar Overview

'Young employees who don't want to become managers' and 'managers exhausted by overwhelming tasks.' Many organizations are caught in this vicious cycle, which cannot be solved merely by 'post-promotion training' or 'policies for existing managers.' The key to breaking this 'bad cycle' that only imposes more burden on managers lies in 'pre-management development' before promotion. This seminar structurally reveals new development methods and case studies for organizations to create a long-term 'good cycle.'

■ Recommended Attendees

- Young employees or section chief-level staff feeling anxious or hesitant about promotion after observing existing managers, or HR professionals facing challenges in developing such employees.
- Professionals concerned about stagnant management functions due to managers hoarding work and failing to delegate or develop subordinates.
- Those feeling the limits of input-centered training after promotion and considering a redesign of the training system itself.
- Those wanting to develop next-generation leader candidates into personnel who can practically produce results.
- Those considering strengthening the development of specialist personnel in addition to traditional generalist management talent.
