To Broaden my Horizon – Motoaki Nishiwaki (Microsoft Japan)

WORK MILL offers inspiration to create your “WORK GOOD,” your own unique style of work. We carried out a survey with people who have been featured in past issues of the WORK MILL web magazine to find out what “WORK GOOD” means to each of them.

  • What does “WORK GOOD” mean to you?
  • What do you keep in mind every day to realize your “WORK GOOD”?
  • What do you feel your purpose is in work?

Through these three questions, we will learn more about “WORK GOOD” .

Creating Opportunities to Encounter More People and Information

What does “WORK GOOD” mean to you?

Setting new and different challenges for myself to always feel a sense of achievement.

To broaden my horizons, create opportunities to encounter more people and information, and increase the number of inputs.
