Another situation that confuses many Americans is when a Japanese supervisor* makes a large number of corrections to their work. For most Americans, this seems unreasonable. However, the Japanese see this differently. The corrections are viewed as a training tool. This is in line with the traditional approach to minarai; the expert shows how something should be done, and the student watches and imitates it. The expert then corrects any mistakes in the student’s work. Such corrections are the Japanese manager’s way of showing how something should be done ―― of helping someone to learn. Rather than just accepting these corrections, workers in Japan are expected to study them carefully, learn from them, and apply the lessons the next time.
