My Mentor, Model and Hero ... with Glenn Furuya

When we think of paradise - Hawaii has to be close to the top of that list!  

Byodo-in Temple, Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii

While we were in Honolulu earlier this year we had a wonderful meeting and interview with Glenn Furuya, President & CEO at Leadership Works, LLC.  Glenn is an expert in leadership and employee development - serving a wide variety of clients and industries throughout the world since 1982.

We found that Glenn has an engaging and effective approach to teaching, and an ability to easily reach across cultures. With his eastern heritage, island upbringing and western education, it's no wonder that he is one of the top leadership experts and educators in his field!

In our discussion, Glenn shared some of the lessons he learned years ago from his former boss at KTA Superstores, Tony Taniguchi. It was the opportunity Tony provided to him that set a course for his life in leadership training and development. During our interview and in his full article, Glenn shares some of the many valuable lessons that he learned from his Mentor, Tony Taniguchi.

We invite you to watch the video and then read Glenn's story on his Website.
