I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

I’m going to conti­nue on my lite­ra­ry momen­tum. Things are still quite bleak online today. I hope you enjoy rea­ding as much as I do wri­ting. Let’s go. A book that has influen­ced many of the pre­vious­ly cited authors is William G. Ouchi’s “Theo­ry Z”. Ouchi’s work in this book is none other than to com­pare Japa­nese orga­ni­za­tio­nal culture with that of America.

This is a major chal­lenge, consi­de­ring that the two nations have a fun­da­men­tal­ly dif­ferent his­to­ry. You don’t have to be a his­to­ry expert to know that Ame­ri­ca was first colo­ni­zed by Euro­peans and that there is very lit­tle trace of the first Asian immi­grants from the pre­his­to­ric era (say, dating back ~25,000 years!) and from their des­cen­dants in contem­po­ra­ry orga­ni­za­tio­nal culture.

Ouchi should be read with cer­tain pre­cau­tions. He him­self must be the bea­rer of a very strong “patriar­chy” because he colours his work with seve­ral ste­reo­ty­pi­cal refe­rences that some­times sting the eyes of a sen­si­tive rea­der, me, in this case.

Never­the­less, the docu­ment is well-struc­tu­red with notes in the appen­dix and a biblio­gra­phy, howe­ver, both are quite modest. The main fault would be its biblio­gra­phy that is not refe­ren­ced in the text, which forces the work to be clas­si­fied more as a crea­tion rather than a construction.

See in me a trustworthy person who will not disappoint you. Although, like you, I have to work to make a living, your well being is my main interest and together we will find goals to make you feel fulfilled and proud of you. It has nothing to do with your bank account, your physical appearance or your material assets. Let’s be clear, we are working on fundamental levers for every human, whether you are a homeless person or part of royalty, you have these same levers. I’m Danny (aka CoachDanny). The people I work with are few, but they all have one thing in common. They share a common goal, self-fulfillment and more.
