The World Takes Notice of “Praise-Based Leadership”: Japan’s Heart-Centered Management Transforming the Future of Education
-- The Japan-born human development method “Ho-Me-I-Ku” has been recognized for its innovative contribution to the field of educational technology, receiving the 1EdTech Japan Encouragement Award.
The award-winning course is now available on Udemy:
The Practical Praise and Raise Leadership Training

The founder, Kunio Hara, advocates the philosophy:
“Data moves the head, but emotions move the heart. When the heart moves, the organization moves.”
Based on this belief, he introduced the concept of “Emotional Productivity.”
Just as KAIZEN and Six Sigma transformed “systems,” Ho-Me-I-Ku transforms the “heart,” drawing global attention as a new form of management rooted in empathy and human connection.
At the core of Ho-Me-I-Ku Management are three principles:
1. Positive Focus – Directing attention to what is going well.
2. Praise Standards – Setting standards of recognition aligned with the organization’s philosophy.
3. Praise Sheet – Visualizing and tracking individual growth.
When this framework takes root, trust and performance naturally rise together.
Over 750 companies in Japan have already adopted Ho-Me-I-Ku.
One Osaka-based company successfully built a “non-blaming culture” within three years—halving its turnover rate and increasing sales by 20%.
Major media such as NHK and Fuji TV have also featured the program.
The Udemy course has generated over 100 million yen (≈USD 650,000) in sales within just six months of its release, spreading rapidly among educators and business leaders worldwide, with a profit margin of 36.63%.
“A moved heart moves the organization.”
“Everyone is born to be praised.”
– Kunio Hara
Just as KAIZEN changed the system, Ho-Me-I-Ku is changing the world through the power of the heart—introducing a new era of leadership that values not only numbers, but also trust, gratitude, and connection as the true indicators of success.
