I want to introduce the coach of my favorite soccer team, GAMBA OSAKA, as a good leader in sports field at the beginning of this category. Akira Nishino is who I think a good leader, who lead GAMBA 7 years. This 7 years that is the most long length of incumbency in J League is testament of confidence of front office of the team. The testament is caused not by his achievement that he changed a weak team into one of the foremost team in J League, but by his strong leadership. GAMBA was weak because this team didn’t have plenty of money to have the right skill sets. He led such the team by instilling two visions that were particular for that time. These two visons are possession soccer and attacking soccer. Players who empathize with these visions unite the team and beat other teams. I think his leadership is from these clear and strong visions. A good leader is good at expressing visions to the people.
