More DescriptionTadashi Saegusa spent his career breaking with convention in Japan - a nation that rewards conformity. He had already been a strategy consultant and headed up three companies by the age of 41, and launched a trailblazing career as a corporate turnaround specialist in Japan. Over his career, he developed a playbook of powerful management frameworks that he continually refined and used repeatedly to revive underperforming businesses.After taking the helm at Misumi as CEO - a 40-year-old company of $500 million in sales - Saegusa doubled sales to $1 billion in four short years, sparking nearly two decades of double-digit annual growth under his leadership. Today, the company boasts global sales of $3 billion. Misumi's standout performance is in stark contrast to peer corporations that struggled amid the fallout from the collapse of Japan's bubble economy. This is the story of how Saegusa - guided by his aspiration to forge a new corporate and management model for Japan - implemented a far-reaching chain of reforms that instilled strategic orientation in the company, while grooming a pool of young executives who carry on his creative management approaches in Japan today.
