PSPINC CEO Kenichi Uchikura's Blog

It’s a beautiful Thursday morning in Tokyo. I woke up to the news that Trump has won the presidential race in the United States, leading to a nearly 3% increase in the stock market. This underscores the significant influence that business-minded leaders can have on both the U.S. and global economy.

 

Leadership is the ability to make decisions based on the best available information at any given moment. While leaders are not necessarily criticized for making the wrong decisions, they are often held accountable for failing to make a decision at all. Leaders earn higher compensation because they are expected to make choices with less than perfect information.

 

True leadership requires the courage to act decisively amidst uncertainty. This ability to make timely decisions can drive substantial outcomes, affecting not only immediate situations but also shaping entire industries and economies. It is this profound responsibility that underscores the role of leaders—their choices, whether they succeed or not, have the potential to impact the future significantly.
