Fellow featured in KRJC’s 33 mini MBA success stories
Fellow Darika Aldasheva (Kyrgyzstan, 2022) was recently interviewed in a magazine feature by the Kyrgyz Republic Japan Center for Human Development (KRJC) of 33 success stories of mini MBA graduates from their program. Darika is both the CEO of Jeti Media, a social media marketing agency, and the Managing Director of Noosphere, a public relations agency. Speaking on her leadership style, she says “I don’t educate, but I talk with the team and I get feedback. This is necessary,” she emphasizes, “to keep employees who want to develop, establish collaboration between specialists and take responsibility.” She also shares that trying to choose between business and personal life “is a false dichotomy. You cannot devote yourself to one thing,” she explains. “Those who devote themselves [solely] to family begin to hate the family and the same goes for work. Work-life balance is necessary and it is quite possible.” The KRJC was established 20 years ago to support Asian countries with transition market economies and to promote cultural exchange with Japan.
