About this listen

The missing link to long-term Lean success! Despite the fact that companies worldwide have adopted Lean production, none has sustained the same levels of excellence as Toyota. Why? Leadership. In The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership, Jeffrey Liker and Gary L. Convis, a former executive V.P. and managing officer of Toyota, help executives and senior managers get employees to refocus their efforts - from simply performing their singular function to continuously improving in collaboration across the organization.

Case studies from Toyota clearly illustrate the methods that create powerful, effective Lean leadership. Jeffrey Liker, author of the popular Toyota Way books, is the acknowledged expert on Toyota processes. He is professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. After his executive leadership at Toyota, Gary L. Convis became the CEO of Dana Holding Corporation, a $6.1 billion supplier to the global automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway markets, and helped lead it to a successful turnaround from bankruptcy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

The most amazing part of this book was that it acts as your own sensai and that it is about a lifestyle of learning. Nd evolution. Being committed to constant improvement especially in a time of crisis helps you to progress more rapidly and to be a true leader your commitment to lifelong self development is critical. I recognise that I’ve been living the Toyota way all my life and that I’m now even more inspired to leverage the principles even better in my life and new roles at work. Thank you to Jeff and Gary I’m deeply grateful for your sharing these insights and wisdom with me and the rest of the world.

Helpful insights with practical and clear steps to implement. Good to hear much emphasis on the importance of process, patience and a recognition that although perfection can never be obtained, pursuit of excellence is vital for effective and purposeful leadership.
