Masanao Kawauchi, Executive Officer at Link and Motivation Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Yoshio Kosasa; Securities Code: 2170), will release a new book titled 'How to Build the Best Team Through Time Management for Managers: Optimizing Resources for Full Team Engagement' on Wednesday, June 17, published by Shuwa Systems. Overview Today, many companies face major shifts in the workplace due to the rapid advancement of AI technology, alongside ongoing challenges such as recruitment difficulties and adapting to diverse work styles. In this environment, managers are increasingly expected to build organizations that deliver results within limited time. At the same time, frontline teams are under pressure to meet performance targets while constrained by insufficient staffing and the inability to increase individual workloads—leading many managers to struggle with team leadership. This book focuses on 'team time management,' explaining a practical approach to strategically treat time as an 'investment' to simultaneously enhance team performance and foster individual growth. Drawing on years of experience in organizational and HR consulting, the book introduces actionable management techniques that address structural challenges in teams that 'work hard but see no results,' identify causes of unnecessary tasks, clarify how to distinguish between 'effective time,' 'investment time,' and 'wasted time,' and provide a roadmap for transforming from 'additive organizations' to 'multiplicative organizations.'
