<p>Move forward and do what you think is best. If you make a mistake, you’ll learn something. But don’t make the same mistake twice.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>Our working relations unfold in an atmosphere of equality which exists nowhere else in the world. At Sony, there is no marked difference between white collar and blue collar workers. Managing is not reigning. Executives of the company must have the necessary qualities to direct the personnel by showing them the way to do things. We are constantly looking for individuals who possess these qualities. Putting people down, because they lack diplomas or because they’re having trouble with a certain job, is a sign of incompetence. There is very little rivalry in our company. Succeeding by creating conflict is impossible.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>[In response to ‘So when you’re in America you must be clear, and when you return to Japan you must be vague – is it hard to switch back and forth?’] It’s more difficult than you can imagine.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>There are three creativities: creativity in technology, in product planning, and in marketing. To have any one of these without the others is self defeating in business.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>We all learn by imitating, as children, as students, as novices in the world of business. And then we grow up and learn to blend our innate abilities with the rules or principles we have learned.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>From a management standpoint, it is very important to know how to unleash people’s inborn creativity. My concept is that anybody has creative ability, but very few people know how to use it.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<hr />
<p>I believe one of the reasons we went through such a remarkable growth period was that we had this atmosphere of free discussion.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>When I say to my assistants, ‘Never trust anyone’, I want them to understand that they shouldn’t expect someone else to do a job exactly like they wanted it done, so you shouldn’t get someone else to realize your own wishes.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>Sir, if you and I had the same opinions about the same subjects, it would be useless for both of us to remain with the same company and both receive a salary. If that were the case, one of us should resign. It is precisely because our opinions differ that the company runs less risk of making mistakes.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>The importance of accorded employees must be sincere, sometimes courageous, even reckless, with no hesitation to take risks. But in time – and time is very important – whatever your capacities are, whatever your successes, your shrewdness, your dexterity, the future of your business is in the hands of the people you have hired.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>I don’t like managing personnel to think they belong to some kind of special species favoured by the gods, in charge of guiding stupid people towards a kind of miraculous revelation which will confirm certain peculiarities in the business world.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>At school, if you pass the exam and get twenty out of twenty, that’s perfect. But if you forget one word on you paper, you get zero. In the business world, you have exams every day. You don’t get a twenty, but millions of points, or sometimes only ten. But if you make a mistake, it’s not a zero you get. A mistake always means a minus something.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>I stopped counting my voyages across the Pacific long ago, but not because it’s as tiring as you may think. You see, in a plane I sleep marvellously well. I just have to wrap myself in a blanket, and I rest better than in any hotel room. People ask for my secret. Well, I carry a box of sushi with me – and I drink a small bottle of saki. Then I pull the blanket around me, after asking the stewardess not to wake me up for the meals or drinks, and especially not for the films. Then I fall into a deep sleep…<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>Machines and computers cannot be creative in themselves, because creativity requires something more than the processing of existing information. It requires human thought, spontaneous intuition and a lot of courage.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<hr />
<p>The first task of a company director is to make decisions. This requires the right professional qualifications, solid technical knowledge and a feel for where technology is going. A company director, in my opinion, should have wide general knowledge in addition to his professional background. This is indispensable for sharpening that particular gift, the fruit of knowledge and experience – a business sense which goes beyond numbers alone – I’m talking about intuition, the privilege of human beings alone.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>Don’t forget that the people you’re selling to are as egotistical as you are. They don’t care a hoot about you or your interests or what would benefit you. What they’re looking for is service.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<hr />
<p>Management of an industrial company must be giving targets to the engineers constantly… that may be the most important job management has in dealing with its engineers.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>People who find themselves heading a company not only have to know their business, but also their environment; they have to be able to take calculated risks based on their knowledge, and also based on what is called the ‘sixth sense’. I hope the readers will not find me too vain when I remind them that it was my intuition that convinced me the Walkman would be a great success, and in a published article I expressed my conviction despite the scepticism my idea was met with. In it I said… ‘If we haven’t sold 100,000 Walkmans from now to the end of the year, I will resign from my position as President of the company.’ I had no intention of resigning, obviously; but I just knew that this device would be a success.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<p>We have always encouraged our employees to have original thoughts, and they have always come through for us. From the entrepreneur’s point of view, it’s important to know how to liberate the creativity innate in everyone. My opinion is that we all possess creativity, but very few know how to use it. For me there’s a solution: always set yourself a goal.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<p>At home, I have five telephone lines, two of which are for my personal use. I also have special lines in our Hawaii apartment, in the Museum Tower I New York, and in our country house at Lake Ashi, near Fuji Yama.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<p>We are more willing to act in the US like a US company, in Europe like a European company, and in Japan like a Japanese company. That’s the only way a global company like Sony can truly become a significant player in each of the world’s major markets.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<p>What industry has taught us in terms of relations with people is that they don’t work just to make money; if you want to motivate them, money is not the best means.

<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>

<p>Japanese corporations must re-evaluate their practice of paying small dividends to shareholders.

<p>There is no secret ingredient, no cabalistic formula that can explain the success of the most prosperous Japanese companies. No theory, no plan, no system of government can assure the success of an enterprise. Only people can do that. The most important task of a Japanese company leader – any company – is to establish sane relations with the personnel, to give them the feeling of belonging to a family in which each member, worker and executive, has a common interest in the future.<br /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>When an engineer or researcher has a well-defined goal, he or she works to achieve it. But if the goal is uncertain, and if the company or organization places a large sum of money at his or her disposal and says, ‘Go on! Invent something!’ then there is no guarantee of success.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<p>There is no secret ingredient, no cabalistic formula that can explain the success of the most prosperous Japanese companies. No theory, no plan, no system of government can assure the success of an enterprise. Only people can do that. The most important task of a Japanese company leader – any company – is to establish sane relations with the personnel, to give them the feeling of belonging to a family in which each member, worker and executive, has a common interest in the future.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<hr />
<p>When an engineer or researcher has a well-defined goal, he or she works to achieve it. But if the goal is uncertain, and if the company or organization places a large sum of money at his or her disposal and says, ‘Go on! Invent something!’ then there is no guarantee of success.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>I was of the conviction that a company’s logo was its vital breath, and that it should be defended tenaciously. The logo and name of a company are not just a simple play on words; they evoke the quality of its products and are their guarantee.<br /><strong></strong></p>

When you get results like these, the last in line follow the lead of those in front.<br /><strong></strong></p>

<p><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
<hr />
<p>I belong to the group of people who like their work, but who also like to play. I started tennis at 55, ski-ing at 60, and I started water ski-ing again at 64, but it hurts too much in the legs. I’ve been playing golf for 40 years, and I still love the game with my 16 handicap. Every Tuesday morning we have a director’s meeting in Tokyo, and when I’m in Japan I always try to attend. But I always go to the indoor tennis court first, next door to the office, and at 7 and 9 o’clock I play a few sets.<br /><strong>Akio Morita</strong></p>
