Setting Aside Your Own 'Yardstick': A Free Seminar on 'Typology-Based 1on1' to Reduce Misunderstandings on June 15th

Creek & River Co., Ltd. (C&R) will hold an online seminar on June 15th (Mon) titled 'Setting Aside Your Own "Yardstick": Typology-Based 1on1 Strategies to Reduce Misunderstandings.' The session is designed for professionals facing challenges in communicating with members who hold diverse values, aiming to teach techniques for understanding others and building trust.

In workplaces where diverse talent gathers, each individual works based on their own unique standards and perspectives. However, this often leads to management challenges, where leaders feel at a loss on how to engage, or subordinates feel confused about expectations. Relying solely on one's own standard to interpret others often creates friction or discouragement, resulting in untapped potential. The seminar focuses on '1on1' communication that prioritizes understanding the other party's background and values to bridge this gap.

The seminar will decode perspectives from both manager and subordinate sides, providing a '1on1 prescription'—a practical guide for effective interaction based on five specific subordinate types: the 'Critic,' the 'Competitive Ace,' the 'Self-Deprecating Subordinate,' the 'Perfectionist,' and the 'Withdrawn/Silent Subordinate.'

■ Seminar Content
- What is 1on1 communication?

Tomokazu Mochizuki (Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultant).
Drawing on 20 years of management experience in the amusement industry and over 700 1on1 meetings, he currently operates the consulting firm 'CoreStep Partners.'
