Question from a Reader:
I’m curious whether the recent personnel changes at Fuji Media HD reflect the voices of the employees. I saw news that candidates for the board, including Yoshitaka Kitao, were excluded, while Takashi Sawada has been newly nominated. Some employees seem to express a cold opinion, saying, “In the end, it’s just a shift from the Hieda regime
to the Kitao regime.” There are also concerns that external interventions might disrupt the workplace. What do you all think about this personnel change? Do you feel it’s a self-serving decision from Fuji, or do you believe it’s a reasonable decision that considers the reality of the employees and the workplace? I’d love to hear your thoughts on Fuji’s future reforms as well.
Thoughts on Fuji Media HD’s Personnel Changes
Recently, the personnel changes at Fuji Media HD have become a topic of discussion. I was honestly a bit surprised to see that Yoshitaka Kitao was removed from the list of candidates for the board, and Takashi Sawada has been nominated instead. Such significant decisions are crucial for steering the company. However, I do find myself questioning if the voices of employees are truly being reflected in these changes.
Employees’ True Feelings and Concerns
From the comments, it’s concerning to see opinions like, “In the end, it’s just a shift from the Hieda regime to the Kitao regime,” as well as worries about chaos due to external interventions. Indeed, even if the executives change, if the mindset of the employees doesn’t shift, it won’t lead to fundamental reform. I’ve had experiences in the past where, despite changes in executives, the atmosphere on the ground remained unchanged, so I can fully understand that sentiment.
Self-Serving Decisions
It seems inevitable that self-serving decisions will arise. There’s a significant difference in loyalty between personnel changes dictated by Dalton and those made independently. In this light, it’s not just about executive appointments; the extent to which employees can express their opinions will be crucial for the future reforms at Fuji.
My Thoughts on Fuji’s Future Reforms
I believe that Fuji’s reforms are not just an issue for the executives, but require a change in the consciousness of all employees. It’s essential to value the voices from the ground more and for upper management to genuinely embrace that feedback. Personally, I’ve had moments at work where I proposed, “Let’s try this,” and my boss responded with, “That sounds great!” Moments like that are truly important. Finally, what do you all think about this personnel change? I’d be happy to hear your experiences and opinions in the comments! Even the smallest insights can lead to interesting discussions.
