Inamori Kazuo said in his autobiography: "Most entrepreneurs who can achieve great things have calm and profound characteristics, such as Matsushita Konosuke and others." He realized: Just like ruthlessness and warmth, carefulness and boldness, if not If you can possess two mutually opposing qualities at the same time, you will not be able to achieve a new career. The assistant gave me cold water several times and came promptly. Kazuo Inamori had a new understanding of life, his personality changed, and he finally gained a new understanding of his business philosophy and leadership team.
Songfeng Industrial cooperated with Panasonic Electronics, which cheered the whole company. Not only did they agree to Inamori's application for purchasing electric tunnel furnaces, but they also allowed Magnetic Technology to increase its manpower.
The young Kazuo Inamori
It turned out that the recruitment of special magnets was an increase plan proposed by the company's human resources department to hire employees. Unexpectedly, Inamori flatly rejected the decision. The reason for the rejection was that the company management wanted to lay off employees in the Insulation Porcelain Bottle Department, but it could not be implemented due to strong opposition from the labor union. Therefore, the Human Resources Department wanted to transfer the unwanted personnel from the Insulation and Magnetic Frequency Department to other departments. For these reasons, Kazuo Inamori actually started recruiting employees by himself and went to the Shichijo Employment Security Center in front of Kyoto Station to find suitable talents.
When company ministers meet to evaluate the work performance of their subordinates, they will give Inamori the highest score to affirm his work efficiency and sincerity. There will also be some ministers who don't know much about Inamori who blame him: "He is a guy who dominates the mountain and is arbitrary and self-righteous.
Recruitment is originally a job of the personnel department, and Inamori knows this very well. What he does is inconsistent with There was a conflict in the Human Resources Department. Normally, the Human Resources Department controls the research plan for promotions and promotions, and ordinary employees will not argue with the Human Resources Department. However, Kazuo Inamori refused to bow to the "power". He would not hesitate to confront the opponent and persist in it. In fact, after entering the theater, his sense of resistance did not change at all.
He never compromised throughout his life. He was determined to climb the most dangerous peak. He had to face it and endure it. That kind of comfortable way of life . He once said that he should choose the path of "vertical climbing" , which determines the performance of the company.
Inamori Kazuo and the partners he hired
In August 1956, it was in Inamori. Successful synthesis of magnesium When making olivine ceramic materials, Hamamoto Akimoto (later the executive director of Kyocera ) was hired. This person's meticulousness and meticulousness in his work impressed the people around him, but he was reticent and did not like to show his face.
hired Kensuke Ito (later Kyocera president) in 10 months. His personality in the past two years has been basically Similarly, Silent is very patient. In March of the following year, Hideo Tokunaga (later Managing Director) was appointed. It can be seen what kind of people Inamori recruited. They all have one characteristic: they look like amateurs. They don't know much about the industry, but they are able to think freely. Without rich experience, they are full of crisis and hunger in the company, and come up with more creative ideas. Kazuo Inamori's "Life and Management"
Other ordinary employees of Songfeng Industry are very impetuous. This is the person Inamori does not want. The special magnetic department of Inamori is called the special force
. The talents hired by Sheng during that period followed him and later became the leaders of Beijing. The entrepreneurial team when the porcelain company was established. When he first started, Songfeng Industrial assigned him an assistant, a particularly troublesome person. This assistant gave him a lot of headaches and taught him a profound lesson. . This person inspired him to gradually change his personality.
The assistant came from a poor family and had never gone to college. He was very smart and gave him a taste of the world very early. There is a special kind of indifference in him. One day, Kazuo Inamori gave him an experiment and got the expected test value. Inamori not only jumped up with joy, but also said "that's great", but that The assistant looked at him with cold eyes and said to him: You should be happy too! He rolled his eyes and muttered: That's so mean! At that time, Inamori's face changed.

The assistant still calmly retorted: Mr. Inamori, the experiment only achieved some small results, so you jumped up happily, but as a grown man, there should be few times in his life that he should be happy. You can actually jump for joy several times a month.
After hearing what he said, Inamori felt like someone had poured cold water on him from head to head! It is precisely because of this impression that I can gain energy and continue to challenge subsequent research. The look of "disagreement" with the assistant made Inamori so desperate at the time!
At that time, Inamori didn't know how difficult and indifferent the people in Kyoto were. He would not be able to lead others if this continued, let alone achieve a career. Regarding the assistant's reaction, he compared the rationality of the people in Kyoto with the lively and cheerful character of the people in Kagoshima. He felt that he had a deep sense of crisis. He must be a good leader, but he could not get the respect of others. In this case , he learned from Kyoto people's difficulty and rationality. Putting aside his cheerful personality for a while, his personality gradually changed from then on.
