“I was always insecure and anxious.
The only thing I could rely on, having nothing, was my ‘heart.’

Money, fame, and popularity will all eventually crumble.
But the human heart never disappears.

So I pledged to lead the company with a foundation of sincerity.”

“Why do some leaders achieve their goals at all costs,
“What leaders ultimately fail?”
The Qualifications of a Leader and the Mindset of a Leader as Seen from 60 Years of Management

People often say, "Everything depends on your mindset," but when faced with hardship and adversity, they give up, saying, "I can't do it."
Even leaders who are responsible for the future of countless employees approach any task by dividing it into what they can and cannot do before even starting it.
Chairman Kazuo Inamori, who has observed countless leaders while serving on the front lines of management for over 60 years, has always felt sorry for leaders who avoid responsibility or blame others in the face of various difficulties, ultimately resigning from their positions.
"Why do some leaders achieve their goals, while others never do?" In this book, which compiles insights gained over a decade in the cutthroat business world since "Why Work?", which was published in Korea in 2011 and sold 300,000 copies, he argues that the subtle difference that separates success and failure lies in the leader's "heart."
As a child, Kazuo Inamori, a boy living with his relatives, spent each day trembling in fear of catching tuberculosis from his uncle and aunt.
However, his father and older brother, who lived with him, took care of him without any fear of infection.
But coincidentally, Kazuo Inamori, who was hiding in his room in fear, fell into the clutches of tuberculosis and groaned in fear of death, while the other family members who had remained calm despite the illness were fine, as if they had been deflected by the bullets of disaster.

“Any disaster happens because there is a mind that attracts it.
Nothing happens unless the heart calls for it.
“It is not reality that creates the mind and attitudes of people, but the mind that creates and moves reality.”
The piece of truth he realized at that time became a philosophy he never forgot and kept in his heart until he later became a manager respected by people around the world.
Are you, too, overwhelmed by the fear of failure and doubting your success? Have you forgotten your original, confident spirit amidst anxiety and confusion? Kazuo Inamori speaks clearly to you.
“Success will never come to those who doubt it.
“Think only of success and act as if you will succeed!”

“How does the leader’s mind spread throughout the organization?
“Are you pulling the trigger on success?”
The foundation for rapid growth that helped local small and medium-sized enterprises leap to become one of the world's top 100 companies.

He started his business supplying parts to large corporations with a capital of 30 million won about 60 years ago, but was often turned away by companies he visited without any prior knowledge.
“I can’t entrust parts orders to a small company like yours.” If he were an ordinary salaried worker, he might have compromised or waited until later.
But behind him were colleagues who had dedicated their youth to building the company, and there was a debt waiting to be repaid immediately.
If he endured the momentary humiliation, he would only end up hurting himself, but if he turned away and retreated, the hearts of the employees who trusted and waited for him would also crumble, so he endured each day with a wounded heart.

Kyocera, which had only a few dozen employees, was able to grow into a global company when it received a massive order to produce computer parts from the global company IBM.
However, at the time, Kyocera did not have the technology and facilities to mass-produce that quantity of parts, let alone develop prototypes.
He worked tirelessly with his employees, staying up all night to develop the product, and despite receiving multiple defective product ratings, he succeeded in meeting IBM's demanding specifications and securing an additional order for 20 million parts.
What led a local small business with a capital of 30 million won to such incredible success? Kazuo Inamori reveals the secret to his success is simple.
“It wasn’t talent, money, or technology that helped us overcome the crisis.
The most important thing is the human heart.
“A leader’s heart, as firm as frost, instantly spreads and creates huge ripples around them, and the company grows with that very power.”

“What kind of leader are you?
“Is your heart calm in the storm?”
Questions that today's leaders must confront head-on as they navigate these uncertain times.

There are many great managers, but few managers have changed their perspective and attitude toward work.
If the author's previous work, "Why Work," was a book that fiercely questioned and examined the reasons why we must wake up every morning and go to work, "Why Leaders" goes a step further and deals with the mental strength that a leader must possess to lead others and create something new and unprecedented in the world.
If we could also understand the strength of mind he has demonstrated with his entire being over the past half-century, wouldn't we be able to move forward toward success without wavering, even in the midst of anxiety and crisis, as if we were hanging on the edge of a cliff?
“The only thing that changed was my mindset.
“I just changed the direction of my mind, and at that moment, the circumstances surrounding me completely changed, as if it were a lie.” This book, written when he was on the verge of ninety, is filled with the anxiety and thirst for success that countless leaders in Korea, who are afraid of tomorrow and anxious about today, must have experienced.
And it tells how he trained his mind to shake off the invisible anxiety, and how his work and life changed as if by magic.
If you are an entrepreneur who, despite the enthusiasm you had when you first started, is still trapped in a dark tunnel with no exit in sight; if you are a middle manager who blames yourself for your own inadequacy due to pressure from superiors and communication problems with team members; if you are a CEO who is deeply troubled by the inability to present a vision for work and business to employees, the author's lived experience of standing tall in the world with only the power of the mind will be a strong comfort and hope.
