Training included earlier videos of Kazuo Inamori, Kyocera's founder, relating his thoughts on leadership. Participants also examined the importance of cultivating the spirit of "selflessness," "righteousness" and "self-discipline," as explained in Dr. Inamori's Defining Lecture [Saigo Nanshu-o Ikun (The Final Teachings of Saigo Takamori)]. The training courses deepened understanding of the ideal state of a leader, the nature of a leader, and the functions and the necessary state of mind.
