Message from Mitsuba President Nagase
Teamwork,
Communication, and
Encouraging Support
13
Related to his many visits with customers:
“What I consider is very important is tostrengthen the trust relationships with ourcustomers.
The visits to customers afforded us new business opportunities. Furthermore, I realized just how much expectations our customers have for us.
14
Teamwork, Communication, and Encouraging Support
Put a high value on teamwork and communication.
Overcome your challenges through effective communication and teamwork.
15
Strong teamwork is crucial for good work performance and large-scale projects.
Have good communication with your team members, motivate each other and help each other develop skills and knowledge.
Additionally, I would like to emphasize what I call “Reaching Out.”
16
In this concept, we should not limit our jobs within our responsibilities.
Rather, we should proactively give our hands to other team members in the related departments and support each other so that we can enhance the capabilities of the entire organization.
Set goals, be cheerful even when facing difficulties, and keep a positive attitude through any challenges.
17
Reaching Out
I am truly grateful for your dedication and hard work.
I would like to extend my deepest appreciation for your tremendous efforts.”
Mitsuba President Nagase
