The book is well crafted and after a while I began to relate to the executives like they were characters in a novel. The Toyota Executives became: Eiji, Hiroshi, Shoichiro and Kichiro as opposed to President, SVP, CFO or COO.
The authors experience in Japan's auto industry dates back to the 1980's when he worked for Nikkei (the Japanese Wall Street Journal). The book was originally written in Japanese and then translated to English and it covers everyone from Sakichi Toyoda to Katsuaki Watanabe (1867 - 2008)
Written in 2008 by Masaaki Sato this book delves into the history of the leaders themselves, the decisions they made and some of the reasons why. The book is not about TPS, JIT or Jidoka but about the leaders that created them
While perusing my local library I came across this book and was i happy I did.
The Toyota Leaders "An Executive Guide" by Masaaki Sato is a good read about leaders that built Toyota.
