Empowering Leadership Excellence

Founded in 2010, the Global Management Academy, is an annual open programme dedicated to equipping Japanese professionals for success in the global business arena. Facilitated across seven interactive master classes with a blend of in-person, virtual and online learning modules as well as executive coaching & cross-company mentoring, the programme develops self-confident, competent, pro-active and skilled English-speaking people leaders.

Since GMA it has been wonderful to see my team members blossom as they speak more confidently and proactively take on more projects which they have started to manage on their own.

Development Needs for Global Managers In Japan

There is an ever more urgent need for Japanese managers to operate effectively and confidently in an increasingly global business environment. Yet, many managers are held back by English-speaking fears around making mistakes, being judged, not being able to follow conversations or speak up to make even a simple comment. These continue to be surprisingly resistant barriers to global leadership success.

Key hindrances:

1. Lack of awareness to manage diversity
2. Poor relationships leading to lower motivation
3. Ineffective communication with face-to-face/remote teams
4. Lack of trust hinders delegation
5. Reluctance to offer timely feedback
6. Fear of speaking up in meetings/conference calls
