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.

Essential reading
Great case studies of what and what not to do.
I was a little frustrated by the “refer to figure...” throughout this book, but realise that a visual description of the chart may miss key points and add additional costs for minimal gain.
A great book, I just wish I had taken the time for this sooner.

A must read for any job, if you want to improve.
I highly recommend this book, I currently work in a contact centre environment which is similar to a car production line, and can see how this lessons can be utilised in this environment. I have also utilised, Agile and Lean in project & program management, worked in commercial agreements negotiator, as well in business development manager, and store management. This book helps all these areas of expertise.
i really found the explanation and real world examples of the belonof great help. Also, I can now understand why having a Black Belt Lean Six Sigma professional alone in your organisation will not deliver results, you need to have the Lean culture from the CEO down.
