Shigenobu Nagamori, Chairman and CEO of Nidec, who has been involved in the hiring of more than 10,000 employees as a manager. It is precisely because he has hired so many undergraduate and graduate students that President Nagamori understands what young people today are lacking and why they are lacking energy. Even in his books aimed at high school students who are thinking about going on to university, there are many places where you can find passionate and rigorous encouragement for business people living in the present age. Chairman Nagamori tells young employees, “If you don’t want to fail, you should fail a lot.” He also says that “leaders need to experience a lot of setbacks and failures.” What is the real intention?“What do you study at university?”(Shogakukan Shinsho) I will introduce an excerpt.
If you don’t want to fail, fail a lot
Some young people may think that they were born in dull times, or that they have no dreams or hopes today.
But right now, there are a lot of opportunities. It is also an era in which even if you fail, you can start over.
For example, my second son is an entrepreneur, but his current business is different from when he first started. If you try something and it doesn’t work out, that’s not the end of it. There are a lot of people in the world who have tried over and over again and succeeded.
