Shingen Takeda, who had a feud between his father and his son
The Takeda family, which has the Koshu cavalry and is familiar as the flag of Furinkazan, began by expelling his father, Nobutora, when he inherited the Shingen family.
That's because Nobutora was trying to treat the young Shingen coldly and take over his younger brother, Yukimura.
Shingen, who noticed it, played harmless so that his father would not realize it, gradually filled the outer moat while drawing on the dissatisfaction of his vassals, and with the cooperation of the parties, Yukimura, banished Nobutora.
The Takeda family decides the national policy by a collegial system of senior vassals, and it is known that Shingen is the same as the current corporate organization in that it takes the opinions of the senior vassals and adopts them. In the land of Kofu, where there are few land patterns and vulnerable stone heights and commerce, we have improved the hydraulic control of military roads and highway rivers, and expanded our sales channels by expanding overseas, making us a representative Sengoku daimyo of this era.
[Yoshinobu], who was born as the eldest son of Shingen, was very brave.
At that time, the Takeda clan was in a state where the prosperity of the Takeda, Hojo, and Imagawa clan was promised by the Koso Shun Tripartite Alliance. Shingen, who has lost his patronage, has taken control of the land of Suwa in Shinano Province, and Shingen welcomes a concubine from the Suwa family. [ Katsuyori was born between him and his concubine. 】was.
In the first place, it seems that there were many people in the Takeda family who were not happy with their marriage to the Suwa family. Katsuyori eventually succeeded the Suwa family and named himself Suwa Shiro Katsuyori.
The turning point of the Takeda family
The gear of the Takeda family's prosperity has changed, Battle of Okehazama The situation changes when Yoshimoto Imagawa is defeated. Detecting the decline of the Imagawa clan, Shingen abandoned his alliance with the Imagawa clan and shifted his policy to the invasion of Suruga.
When that happens, the position of Yoshinobu, who has a mother from the Imagawa clan, disappears, and a disturbing atmosphere begins to flow to the senior vassals near the Imagawa clan. In the end, Yoshinobu was accused of rebellion and was forced to commit suicide.
In this Yoshinobu case, Takeda Shitenno [ Masakage Yamagata ]'S older brother, Shukuro from the Shintora era Toramasa Iitomi was in a collective punishment and was seppuku with Yoshinobu. There are various theories, and Toramasa himself did not participate in the plan of rebellion, and it was said that Toramasa himself was purged by Shingen because he was a priest from the predecessor and the theory that he took responsibility for Yoshinobu. It is being considered.
In this way, Katsuyori, who was the fourth son, was nominated as a successor to Shingen, and immediately welcomed Nobunaga's adopted daughter as a regular room and tried to wipe out the anxieties of his vassals, but the opposition still remained.
1573 Battle of Mikatagahara Ieyasu Tokugawa Shingen defeated Shingen, but he became a person who did not fall ill during the pursuit operation.
Failure to rebuild the organization Takeda family
Only six years after Yoshinobu's suicide, Katsuyori returned to Takeda's surname and succeeded his family.
Katsuyori He is no less powerful than his father, and has captured Takatenjin Castle, which his father could not fulfill, and temporarily Takeda's largest territory . It came to have. But 1575 Battle of Nagashino In, he suffered a devastating defeat to the Oda-Tokugawa Allied Forces and lost many of the great generals since Shingen.
However, the pinch was an opportunity, and it was also a great opportunity to rebuild the Takeda family, which had many opponents of Katsuyori. Shingen loved Sanada Masayuki Young people are emerging Katsuyori tried to rejuvenate the organization here, and if successful, the historical facts may have changed.
On the diplomatic side, reinforcements could not be dispatched when the Tokugawa army invaded Takatenjin Castle . The thing greatly damaged the trust of the Takeda family, and the hearts of the people on the border were separated. 1582 Shingen's son-in-law [ Kiso Yoshimasa ] Was separated from Oda, and the destruction of the Takeda clan became decisive.
At this time, a large castle [ Shinpu Castle ] Was built, but abandoned, Nobushige Oyamada Katsuyori, who went to Iwaden Castle at the invitation of Nobunaga but had no idea what to do with Nobunaga, decided to commit suicide at Mt. Tenmoku.
Learn from the Takeda family's failure to succeed to business
Even today, what is needed for business succession is preparation, training, and sharing of philosophy . is.
Business succession four articles

Not only the Takeda family, but also modern companies must keep in mind the above. Not limited to OSE, the higher the charisma of the founder, the greater the pressure on the successor.
Based on that, what the predecessor should do is [ preparation for retirement and training of next-generation leaders ] And [ Sharing Corporate Philosophy ] Is a place I want you to be thorough. And, like Ishigaki, I think that people are all about believing in the power of employees and those who take over.
