Description

If one person on your team is off, your whole team is off.

In this Japan Series episode, Jason unpacks the powerful lesson from Mr. Yabe, the leader behind the Shinkansen's "Seven-Minute Miracle."Β His message?

If 100 people give their best but one person doesn't, the team's effectiveness drops to zero.

Through stories from Japanese rail crews and real construction projects, Jason explains why great culture isn't built instead of rewards and swag, it's built through them. Talk to your people, care about them, give them pride in their workΒ and cool tools, recognition, and shared wins.

The key is total participation.

Because if you have 100 team members minus one, you don't have 99, you have zero.

Listen now and learn how strong cultures lift everyone, together.
