THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
The Great “Safe” Return To The Workplace In Japan Congratulations on escaping the Covid-19 virus by staying safe and working from home. We all want to see our businesses succeed and we all want to stay healthy. If it is time now to go back to the workplace, understand that there will be members of the team, who are concerned about their continued safety. As the boss, you have a responsibility to ensure a safe working environment for the team. Here are some things for everyone to think about. We all have to learn how to co-exist with Covid-19, so why try and replicate the old work style? Avoiding crowded transport and elevators are smart ideas. Try working from home in the morning, go in a bit later to the office to avoid the crowds and do the same thing by leaving earlier than normal. When you get back home continue working. Yes, it may mean continuing to work after 5.00pm or 6.00pm, but this is the trade off, for coexisting with the virus. You will get the same amount of work done in a day spread out over more extended hours. We all need to be more flexible about developing a new work rhythm. Why not check your own temperature at home before you leave, to be certain you are no risk to colleagues at the office. This takes about two minutes, so it is manageable, even for busy people. Avoid all surfaces when you are outside like stair or escalator handrails, subways straps and posts, elevator and vending machine buttons, etc. Wearing gloves outside makes a lot of sense, in addition to a face mask and maybe a face shield where appropriate. Directly touching others through handshakes, fist bumps, hands on the shoulder, pats on the back, high fives etc., are obviously now out, so bowing will be a much better alternative. We need to rethink how we work in the office. Does everyone really have to be there every day? Why not have teams permanently rotate. On certain days, some staff will go to the office while the others work from home. The so-called A Team and B Team interchange. Maybe Fridays is the day for everyone to work from home? Hold stand up meetings at the office to make them shorter and allow proper social distancing rules to apply. Do we actually need to meet together in person. Could we be in the office at our desks and still meet online? Certainly have coffee breaks together to catch up on what has been happening in our lives, but always use social distancing. Everyone can have their own cup, so there is no need to share any crockery any more. Masks and face shields are good ideas when we are gathered together and by making it a common rule, no one feels weird or out of place. Clear plexiglass barriers between seats makes sense. If reintroducing individual cubicles and offices makes more sense than open plan arrangements, then we are all going back to the future! Reduce the amount of paper which needs to be circulated by hand. What about “handing over meishi”? Is this now a thing of the past? Can we connect electronically? Anyone remember “Bump”, a discontinued app which electronically exchanged our business contact details on the spot at a networking event? There are several apps such as iCheck, Camcard, PiQy, Eight, and Shoot which may get a new lease of life now. Anyway, let's make greater use of electronic document sharing and do all of our approvals on-line. Enforce best practice hygiene standards. We are continuously reminded to avoid touching our faces, eyes, noses and mouths, because this is how we get absorb the virus. Easy to proclaim, but not so easy to do. Regularly washing our hands with soap throughout the day, for twenty seconds, including the areas under the fingernails, between the fingers and up to the wrist are best practice. Soap breaks apart the container that holds the virus and then the virus is then washed away. Use a paper towel to dry your hands and turn the water faucet off with that paper towel as well. Also we should use hand sanitiser. With your colleagues, allocate teams throughout the day to regularly clean door knobs and surfaces like coffee pots, elevator buttons, tabletops, photocopiers, mobile phones, whiteboards and marker pens. Bringing your own bento reduces your exposure to outsiders at lunch time. You can still eat lunch with your colleagues and at a safe distance. Let's all keep well and stay safe.
THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
The Ubiquitous Meishi Exchange and Event Networking - Are They Now Dead? As the President of my company in Japan, it is almost impossible for me to cold call Japanese companies. If a Japanese prospective client got a cold call from the President of another company, they would immediately be suspicious of that organisation. Why does the President have to make cold calls? What sort of company is this, they don't sound very sizeable, stable or credible? Consequently my modus operandi, to date, has been to be the Tokyo King of Networking. I would happily go off to many events, work the room, exchange meishi with as many people as I could get to, in the time available. I would get there early and visually scan all the name cards lined up outside the room to see who was coming. Who did I already know (so I wouldn't forget their name) and who did I want to get to know? I would start early and stay late. I would ask one simple, subtle qualifying question in order to know how to approach this company representative. Lockdown put the sword to that little niche sales play of mine. Everyone was at home, organisations who used to sponsor networking events, only hold their meetings online these days. Even in post lockdown Tokyo, there are still no networking events being held. Organisers are not confident enough they can secure the safety of their guests, to invite them to come to a room and mingle with potentially asymptomatic strangers. The punters themselves are not confident to go into a confined room, with a bunch of other people and potentially be exposed to the virus. The online meetings being held are not networking events. They are information events, usually with speakers and a moderator and limited Q&A. There is no possibility for me to meet the other participants on the call. Is this going to change anytime soon? I don't think so and even when meetings are held again, they will be quite different. Social distancing will place a physical limitation on how many people can attend the event, at any one time. Shaking hands, which is a well established business custom, designed to project reliability, confidence and trust, will be out of bounds. Even exchanging meishi may not be allowed nor welcomed. You have to stand relatively close to the other person to do that exchange. Also our grubby fingers are touching the card. When we are on the receiving end, we are touching their grubby bit of paper as well. Maybe we don't want to risk transferring the virus, via meishi exchange, any more. Is the meishi going to become a relic of the past? Can we connect electronically instead? Anyone remember “Bump”, a discontinued app which electronically exchanged our business contact details on the spot at a networking event? Years ago, I remember offering my meishi to a young, thrusting American businessman. With a disparaging flourish, he whipped out his mobile phone and told me he doesn't “do meishi anymore”. He explained to this old geezer, that he could connect with me via this cool West Coast app called Bump. I installed it, but I didn't really warm to it. The ceremony of receiving someone's meishi is a tradition in Japan. I decided to stick with the accepted way of doing business around here. Bump is no more, discontinued in 2014, but several apps have surfaced such as iCheck, Camcard, PiQy, Eight, and Shoot. Some of the available apps are scanning technologies, which still require an actual meishi, but others do offer a real “no physical touch” information exchange. Thanks to Covid-19, these and other similar apps, may get a new lease of life now. By the way, if you know of something good for this old Luddite, please share the love around and let me know!! For someone in my position, sadly, there is no real alternative for replacing networking as a niche activity, to tap into potential clients. I don't think networking is no more, passed on, expired, dead or about to disappear forever. Until it comes back though, there are plenty of existing clients to contact. This is most likely going to continue to be by phone or video call. It may be sometime before we are in a position to hightail it over to the client's office for a physicaly distanced, face to face encounter. Unlike me, my sales team can continue to cold call potential clients. It works well, because you can go direct to the decision-maker. On some occasions though, we find the target company has turned the gate keeper loose in the office. They are still acting as an unreconstituted, cold call killer, so we get short shrift on that front. This sales life continues to be character building.
If there were awards for losing papers, I would win the award. Business cards are even smaller, which makes them even easier to lose. Gone are the days of taking business cards and losing them at the bottom of my purse, or letting them deteriorate in a hidden pocket of my wallet. Watch Apps of our Lives episode 13 hosted by Sergio Moukarzel to see how this app makes it so easy to capture business cards with your mobile phone and recognize the card information immediately, quick-save to your contacts.
