In this episode, we explore the silent but powerful role of the “otsu-bone” — an unofficial figure who holds sway in many Japanese offices, often without any formal title.

Drawing from real experiences in Japan and abroad, we uncover how these unspoken hierarchies can either stagnate or shape a workplace — and what kind of leadership is needed to address them.
