Gesture & etiquette
Report with a slight nod and a composed, positive expression; keep the report concise; if the superior looks pleased, allow the moment — don't rush to the next topic.
The 連絡 (renraku) in Ho-Ren-So is often neglected when news is good — many employees only report up the chain when problems arise. Proactively sharing positive client feedback builds team morale and signals that the relationship is strong. Add the client's name and project for a more specific, credible report.
