Recommendation
Isao Yoshino’s 40 years of leadership at the Toyota Motor Corporation helped define a specific corporate culture, now understood as the “Toyota Way.” Author Katie Anderson tracks Yoshino’s career as she explains this management philosophy, which includes several well-known, foundational concepts. The first is kaizen, often translated as “continuous improvement,” change and innovation. The second is genchi genbutsu, the concept of basing important decisions on facts from original sources. A third concept is the most crucial idea in Yoshino’s approach to leadership and learning: hansei, critical self-awareness in business and in life.
