Kazuo Inamori is a Japanese philanthropist, entrepreneur and the founder of Kyocera Corporation and KDDI Corporation. He is the chairman of Japan Airlines. In 2011, he received the Othmer Gold Medal for outstanding contributions to progress in science and chemistry.
Inamori is also a Zen Buddhist priest, established the Inamori Foundation in 1984, which awards the annual Kyoto Prize to honor those who have made "extraordinary contributions to science, civilization, and the spirituality of humankind."
This is the first book I have read from Inamori Kazuo, yet I found many of the authors insights on working methods resonate powerfully with me.
Specifically, a lifelong career goal, a reason why we need to work hard in a company environment, is essentially training ourselves to be a person with passion, ability and integrity.
