commemorative day by the Japan Anniversary Association, based on the play on words “10 (to) 1 (i).” Related press release: October 1st is “The Day to Face Important Questions.” Officially registered with the certification of the Japan Anniversary Association. In today’s world, change is so rapid that it’s hard to know what the “right answer” is. Issues such as poor communication within organizations and a lack of ideas for innovation are becoming more serious. We at MIMIGURI believe the key to overcoming these challenges lies in the ability to ask questions that harness the creativity of people and organizations to explore new value. With the desire to increase the number of people in the world who are interested in and skilled at questioning, MIMIGURI Inc. has applied to designate “Question Day” as a commemorative day in 2021. And to coincide with the 5th annual “Question Day,” we are releasing a new book by MIMIGURI Representative Director and Co-CEO Yuki Anzai, titled “New Questioning Manners.” This best-selling book, which has sold over 40,000 copies, has been redesigned as a guide to creating “adventurous teams.” “No one speaks their mind in meetings” or “Members wait for instructions” This book is for all leaders who struggle with these issues. “The New Art of Questioning” is a revised version of the best-selling book that has sold over 40,000 copies, and is a guidebook for leaders and managers who want to build “adventurous teams.” This book clearly summarizes the “questions” that overcome the “four modern diseases” that plague teams in one-on-one meetings and unleash the creativity and potential of each team member. It also includes a “three-pronged practice cycle” and “four basic strategies,” providing easy-to-understand, systematized questions as skills and concrete methodologies that anyone can learn. This book is a practical prescription for “organizational transformation from a 5m radius” that will transform your team from a “passive, instruction-waiting group (military-style team)” to an “adventurous team that thinks and acts independently.” Please make a reservation and read it.
