Description

In this episode, I discuss the tension between free-spirited individuals and traditional corporate culture in Japan. Companies value loyalty, sacrifice, and obedience more than personal freedom — especially when it comes to overseas assignments. A worker may enjoy a luxurious expat life, yet must hide it, perform seriousness, and show dedication to avoid jealousy or increased pressure. Freedom becomes something carried quietly, not displayed. Through personal stories and workplace observations, I explore why organizations struggle to trust independent minds, and how wise employees learn to “translate freedom” into the language of responsibility, humility, and results.
