I am Yoshida, president of Yamada Shusei Ltd., a professional apparel garment repair group in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture.
The word on the June 19 daily calendar was “Toilets are great!”
This is what my daughter, then two years old, said with gusto when she successfully peed in the potty. I laughed so hard that I wrote a picture of it in my diary that day. I had been struggling to raise my first child, and I felt like she was saying to me, “Let's have fun! " I started to enjoy raising my first child.

The moment children learn to pee in the potty is a big step in their development. This small success gives them confidence and motivates them to take on new challenges.
In management, it is important not to miss these “growth moments” and to build on each small success. Acknowledging and praising each employee's small achievements will motivate the entire team and lead to greater growth for the company as a whole.
The pure power of children is a great inspiration for us managers as well.
