respected by all the employees in each company so that everybody follows the same philosophy.
Therefore, each company looks like as if it has a personality. Most of the people I respect for
their managing style and philosophy don't have college degrees. Mr. Konosuke Matsushita ~
not even graduate from a junior high school. But I believe they had established their own
philosophy with their pure mind for management, and got the business opportunities. They
were excellent managers without professional education.
I think management is not a profession, but something I have to challenge with
everything I have, including my traits to make everybody do his or her best. Even ifl had a-
.great
knowledge and skill of management, I could not do a big business by myself I need a lot of
\. '\l c9 ~ ; ople working for me who are willing to work with me as a team. I consider that the
~ { r,.,

leadership with a strong philosophy is the most important factor for manager, and companies
cannot survive without this kind of leadership. There is a saying in Japan, which goes 'The
company cannot grow more than its president's shoulder-width.' I think this is very true, and it
is very important for me to learn and polish any personality through the EMP-education to
establish my own philosophy of management. I do not want to be a stereotype MBA, and I do
not think I'll change this opinion after two years in the EMP. I'm going to try to get something
more than just a professional education through the EMP experience.
The key of the leadership may be found in the difference of the education system and
philosophy between Kellogg and other business schools such as HBS.
