The truths in business consultant Laura Kriska’s book, “The Business of We,” however, remain unchanged. “When you think of COVID, the ‘We-approach’ is the only way to go,” she says to The Japan Times.
For Kriska, the We-approach has been decades in the making, and its genesis started in Japan. Born in Tokyo to missionary parents, Kriska moved back to the United States after two years, but elements of Japanese culture remained with her. In college, Kriska decided to study for one year at Waseda University in Tokyo as an exchange student, eventually completing her degree in Japanese Studies when she returned to Denison University in Ohio.
