Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
"Get your hands dirty: credibility in Japan is built in the field, not the boardroom". "Bridges beat barriers: headquarters alignment turns local problems into solvable projects". "Make people proud: structured "poster sessions" spark ownership, ideas and nemawashi". "Decisions at the edge: push market choices to those closest to customers, then coach". "Trust travels: clear logic, calm feedback, and consistency convert caution into commitment". Belgian-born power-electronics engineer turned global executive, Erwin Yseijin leads Semikron Danfoss in Japan with more than three decades across Japan, Germany, and Taiwan. Beginning as a hardware engineer in switch-mode power supplies and motor drives, he joined a Japanese semiconductor firm in Munich in 1989 and relocated to Japan in 1992, learning operations, production planning, quotations, and logistics from the inside. Subsequent leadership roles at Infineon included Japan and a five-year post-merger integration in Taiwan overseeing ~50 R&D engineers and close OEM relationships across PCs, routers, and wireless. After a gallium-nitride startup stint in Dresden, he joined Semikron, later Semikron Danfoss, leading APAC reorganisation, factory consolidation, and a direct-plus-distribution sales model, before becoming Japan President. Fluent in the technical, commercial, and cultural languages of the region, he specialises in aligning headquarters and local teams, and in building pragmatic, customer-led organisations in Japan. Erwin Yasvin exemplifies the hands-on leader who earns trust in Japan by showing up where problems live. His credo—"get your hands dirty"—is not metaphorical. When customers escalate issues, he goes with sales to uncover root causes and secure head-office commitments on the spot. That credibility shortens cycles in a market where 100% quality is table stakes and where the service "extra mile" extends even a decade beyond a nominal warranty. A European by training and temperament, he learned Japanese corporate practice from the inside in the early 1990s, when multilayered hierarchies still defined decision flow. Rather than railing against the pyramid, he mined its upside: leaders who rise through layers bring practical judgement and empathy for shop-floor realities. Yet he also streamlined speed by bridging headquarters and Japan—translating commercial logic, technical constraints, and customer detail into decisions the field can act on. He builds voice and pride through "poster sessions": monthly forums where team members present customers, markets, wins, and bottlenecks to peers. That design triggers nemawashi—quiet pre-alignment—and fosters cross-functional curiosity. By picking one or two ideas from each session and ensuring execution, he turns speaking up into visible impact. Decision rights sit with those closest to the market. Each salesperson owns one or two verticals—motor drives, wind, solar, energy storage, UPS—with accountability for target customers, competitive intel, product needs, and pricing. Headquarters supports with budgets for samples and after-warranty analysis, signalling trust with money. Where ambiguity or urgency is high—such as the 2022 exchange-rate shock—he decomposes the "working package" into digestible actions, avoiding paralysis. Mistakes are coached privately and framed as leadership accountability: if an error occurred, expectations weren't clear enough. Monthly one-on-ones, written agendas, and evidence-led conversations establish a durable logic chain that travels across language boundaries. Culture-wise, he neither copies a Japanese firm nor imposes a foreign pace. Instead, he articulates values—efficient workdays, transparent processes, skill development—while adapting compensation to local norms through a hybrid bonus model that blends guaranteed and performance-tied elements. Asked how outsiders should lead in Japan, Yasvin stresses credibility, example, and constancy: be present in the hard moments, don't over-promise, and speak in clear, digestible steps. In a country where consensus and detail orientation are prized, leaders win by aligning logic with respect—turning caution into momentum without sacrificing quality. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Japan blends layered hierarchies with high expectations for managers to understand field-level problems. Leaders gain status less by slogan and more by track record. Consensus is built through nemawashi and formalised via ringi-sho, with detail-rich documentation that honours uncertainty avoidance while preserving quality. The upside of layers is decision empathy; the downside can be speed—unless leaders bridge across functions and headquarters. Why do global executives struggle? Many push headquarters logic without translating it into local realities: customer expectations of zero defects; service beyond written warranty; and process fidelity (e.g., traceability standards) that must integrate into Japanese customers' own systems. Leaders also misread how "pride" shows up—quietly, not publicly—and miss mechanisms (like poster sessions) that let people contribute without confrontation. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Not exactly; it's uncertainty-averse. When leaders clarify the "box" and broaden it gradually, teams will step forward. Decomposing problems (e.g., FX pass-through frameworks) turns ambiguity into executable steps. Decision intelligence—structured data, clear thresholds, defined triggers—reduces uncertainty and enables action without violating quality norms. What leadership style actually works? Lead by example; be visibly present at customer flashpoints. Push decisions to the edge (market owners), back them with budgets, and coach in private. Use structured forums to surface ideas, then implement a few to prove that speaking up matters. Keep corporate values intact (efficient workdays, skill building) while tuning incentives to local practice. How can technology help? Operational dashboards that tie customer issues to root-cause analytics, plus digital twins of power-module reliability and logistics flows, elevate conversations from anecdote to evidence. Traceability systems aligned to global standards reduce manual re-entry and delays, while decision thresholds (e.g., FX bands) automate price updates and ensure fair, consistent application. Does language proficiency matter? Helpful, not decisive. Clear logic, written agendas, data, and diagrams travel farther than perfect grammar. Leaders who frame problems visually, confirm next actions, and close the loop consistently can overcome linguistic gaps, while continuing to study Japanese accelerates trust and nuance. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Credibility compounds. Show up in the hard moments, keep promises small and solid, convert ideas into implementation, and protect quality while increasing speed through better alignment. Over time, trust becomes a structural advantage with customers and within the team.

In this episode on the Speaking Out of Place podcast, Professor David Palumbo-Liutalks with Tao Leigh Goffe about her new, magisterial Dark Laboratory: On Columbus, the Caribbean, and the Origins of the Climate Crisis. Spanning many fields and disciplines in the natural sciences, social sciences, the humanities, and the arts, Professor Goffe weaves together a historically rich and geographically complex picture of how capitalism and racism undergird the climate crisis in ways made invisible or benign via the work of the west's “dark laboratory.” Writing back through accounts of indigenous bird watching and Black provisional grounds, we talk about things as seemingly different as the massive guano industry built on Chinese and Indian labor in the 19th century to Malcolm X's boyhood vegetable garden in Michigan. We talk in particular about one of the key passages of Dark Laboratory, where Tao writes:“Still, we manage to create a poetics out of that which wishes to destroy us and the planet. How else will we be able to live in ‘the after'? We must reassess what a problem is. Living is not a problem, as Audrey Lorde reminds us. I would add that dying is not a problem either. Decomposing is essential to the natural order and cycle of life. Living at the expense of others is a problem.”Tao Leigh Goffe is a writer, theorist, and interdisciplinary artist who grew up between the UK and New York City. For the past fifteen years she has specialized in colonial histories of race, geology, climate, and media technologies. Dr. Goffe lives and works in Manhattan where she is an Associate Professor at CUNY in Black Studies. She teaches classes on literary theory and cultural history. Dr. Goffe's book on how the climate crisis is a racial crisis is called DARK LABORATORY (Doubleday and Hamish Hamilton (Penguin UK, 2025). Her second book BLACK CAPITAL, CHINESE DEBT, under contract with Duke University Press, presents a long history of racialization, modern finance, and indebtedness. It brings together subjects of the Atlantic and Pacific markets from 1806 to the present under European colonialism. Dr. Goffe is a fellow at the Harvard University Kennedy School in racial justice. Her research explores Black diasporic intellectual histories, political, and ecological life. She studied English literature at Princeton University before earning her PhD at Yale University. Dr. Goffe's research and curatorial work is rooted in literatures and theories of labor that center Black feminist engagements with Indigeneity and Asian diasporic racial formations. Committed to building intellectual communities beyond institutions, she is the founder of the Dark Laboratory, an engine for the study of race, technology, and ecology through digital storytelling. Dr. Goffe is also the Executive Director of the Afro-Asia Group, an organization that centers the intersections of African and Asian diasporas, futurity, and radical coalition towards sovereignty. www.palumbo-liu.comhttps://speakingoutofplace.comBluesky @palumboliu.bsky.socialInstagram @speaking_out_of_place

Gloria Williams has been sentenced to 50 years in prison after abandoning her children in an apartment with her dead son's body. Nicole Partin reporting. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Jon and Carie Hallford, the owners of Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, Colorado, pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud charges related to their alleged misuse of pandemic relief funds and customer payments. The couple is accused of spending nearly $900,000 in relief funds on personal luxuries, including vehicles, designer items, and vacations, while leaving over 190 bodies decomposing in their facility, according to court documents. This facility, located about an hour south of Denver, became the focus of a federal investigation after the bodies were discovered in conditions that horrified families and state officials alike. The Hallfords pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors, per the plea agreement, are limited to requesting no more than a 15-year prison sentence, though the agreement awaits final approval by a judge. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Neff stated that the plea deal encompasses both the Hallfords' acknowledgment of COVID-19 relief fraud and additional fraud perpetrated against their customers. According to court filings, the Hallfords diverted funds intended for business expenses during the pandemic toward a lavish lifestyle. Purchases reportedly included a GMC Yukon and an Infiniti worth over $120,000 collectively, cryptocurrency investments of $31,000, body sculpting services, trips to California, Florida, and Las Vegas, and luxury items from brands like Gucci and Tiffany & Co. "These funds were supposed to support struggling businesses during the pandemic, not to fuel extravagant personal spending," noted Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Neff, highlighting the gravity of the Hallfords' actions. The grim conditions discovered at Return to Nature Funeral Home extended beyond financial misconduct. An investigation following last year's discovery revealed bodies stacked haphazardly, some reportedly in place since 2019. In some instances, the wrong bodies were buried, and the remains provided to grieving families often included fake ashes made of dry concrete. The Associated Press reported that the Hallfords fabricated cremation records, leaving families devastated upon learning that their loved ones had never been properly handled. Crystina Page, a mother whose son's body was left decomposing in the Hallfords' facility, expressed her anguish during the court hearing, stating, “My son was one of those victims; he lost 60% of his body weight.” She painfully recounted the conditions she believed he endured, saying, “Rats and maggots ate his face.” Page expressed her frustration with the limited plea deal but acknowledged it was “as close to justice as [she] was going to get.” The federal indictment added to an extensive list of charges already pending against the Hallfords in Colorado state court, where they face more than 200 counts related to corpse abuse and forgery. Meanwhile, Jon Hallford's defense is being handled by the federal public defender's office, which has not commented on the case. Attempts to reach Carie Hallford's legal team were unsuccessful, and her attorney in state proceedings, Michael Stuzynski, declined to provide further comments. The disturbing details emerging from the Hallfords' case prompted Colorado lawmakers to reevaluate and reform state funeral home regulations in 2024. New laws now require routine inspections and mandatory licensing for funeral home operators, a move motivated by the stories of families who, like Crystina Page, had their final goodbyes to loved ones turned into moments of anguish and loss.

An Arizona man has been arrested after authorities allegedly found his 9-year-old son's decomposing body on a couch in their home, according to multiple reports. Joseph Gregory Antonsen, 38, was taken into custody following the grim discovery at the family's residence in the Picture Rocks area on Sunday, July 14. The Arizona Republic, AZ Family, and KVOA reported on the arrest, citing a police news release. Online jail records indicate that Antonsen is being held on a bond of $500,000 and faces charges of child abuse and negligent homicide. It is not immediately clear if he has entered pleas to the charges or retained an attorney. The investigation began when authorities conducted a welfare check at the property and found Antonsen's son lifeless on a couch. According to the news release, the boy's body was already in the process of decomposition. The Arizona Republic reported, citing the news release, that the home was in a state of severe neglect. The Arizona Republic, referencing unspecified court documents, reported that Antonsen allegedly told officers his son had been unwell two days prior. He claimed he intended to take the child to the doctor, but the boy started “shuttering and going limp,” according to the documents. When Antonsen returned after turning on his car, he realized the boy was not breathing and did not have a pulse. Instead of calling for help, Antonsen allegedly left the home for a period, leaving his son inside. The documents further allege that Antonsen knew he should have sought immediate assistance but failed to do so. The police news release also described the deplorable conditions inside the home, which was filled with garbage such as “empty beer cans, large piles of soiled diapers, rotten food, bottles full of what appears to be urine, lots of insect activity, and spiders (black widow and brown recluse),” according to KOLD. Neighbors expressed shock and sadness over the incident. One neighbor, whose daughter used to play with the boy, told KOLD, “His son was really cute. He was a really friendly kid. He was very polite. He was a lot friendlier than his dad.” She added that she had not seen the boy in around a month and had noticed seeing the family less frequently in recent months. Another neighbor told the outlet that she thought the house had been abandoned. This tragic incident has raised serious questions about the circumstances leading to the boy's death and the living conditions in the home. As the investigation continues, authorities and the community are left grappling with the devastating loss of a young life. #JosephGregoryAntonsen #ChildAbuse #NegligentHomicide #WelfareCheck #ArizonaCrime #DecomposingBody #ParentingNeglect Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

An Arizona man has been arrested after authorities allegedly found his 9-year-old son's decomposing body on a couch in their home, according to multiple reports. Joseph Gregory Antonsen, 38, was taken into custody following the grim discovery at the family's residence in the Picture Rocks area on Sunday, July 14. The Arizona Republic, AZ Family, and KVOA reported on the arrest, citing a police news release. Online jail records indicate that Antonsen is being held on a bond of $500,000 and faces charges of child abuse and negligent homicide. It is not immediately clear if he has entered pleas to the charges or retained an attorney. The investigation began when authorities conducted a welfare check at the property and found Antonsen's son lifeless on a couch. According to the news release, the boy's body was already in the process of decomposition. The Arizona Republic reported, citing the news release, that the home was in a state of severe neglect. The Arizona Republic, referencing unspecified court documents, reported that Antonsen allegedly told officers his son had been unwell two days prior. He claimed he intended to take the child to the doctor, but the boy started “shuttering and going limp,” according to the documents. When Antonsen returned after turning on his car, he realized the boy was not breathing and did not have a pulse. Instead of calling for help, Antonsen allegedly left the home for a period, leaving his son inside. The documents further allege that Antonsen knew he should have sought immediate assistance but failed to do so. The police news release also described the deplorable conditions inside the home, which was filled with garbage such as “empty beer cans, large piles of soiled diapers, rotten food, bottles full of what appears to be urine, lots of insect activity, and spiders (black widow and brown recluse),” according to KOLD. Neighbors expressed shock and sadness over the incident. One neighbor, whose daughter used to play with the boy, told KOLD, “His son was really cute. He was a really friendly kid. He was very polite. He was a lot friendlier than his dad.” She added that she had not seen the boy in around a month and had noticed seeing the family less frequently in recent months. Another neighbor told the outlet that she thought the house had been abandoned. This tragic incident has raised serious questions about the circumstances leading to the boy's death and the living conditions in the home. As the investigation continues, authorities and the community are left grappling with the devastating loss of a young life. #JosephGregoryAntonsen #ChildAbuse #NegligentHomicide #WelfareCheck #ArizonaCrime #DecomposingBody #ParentingNeglect Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
