Touch perfection in every activity you do
Detail out your thoughts, write little in words, and speak even little. But produce the perfect one, this is what Japanese appreciate.
Old is experienced is now an ado
Young engineers and managers are approachable. But respect to older ones never dies out, both in private & public.
Learn Japanese, as most documentation needs translationThey appreciate this, and don’t think that their jobs would be stolen!
You are rated; so you should not improve punitivelyBeware not to make wrong commitments, revisions and mistakes.Think.Think, before you speak, ask for time before commiting.
Modest Claims
Don’t bite more than what you can chew!. Prove in a small portion/project and then approach for a bigger one.
Small is beautiful
Little organizations are sometimes highly skilled or specialized. Their presence cannot be ignored in the Japanese industry, at any time.
Trust your partner
Every thing starts from trust. Further projects & relations only build or break this. So, make them feel this in your initial knocks, or call/hook one of them
Give a listening ear
Not always hai wakarimas. Let them know when you are not clear and need a detail. They would be ready to respond.
Sporadic behaviors
Sometimes Japanese are very unpredictive, they give a listening nod, but not to convey what they think. Silence, is good , but check the pulse.
