Product Details
Features include:
  • Improvement Kata: Change is the constant. Toyota has internal capability to constantly establish challenging new target conditions, and regimens for overcoming obstacles diligently and learning from each one that is encountered.
  • Coaching Kata: At Toyota, leaders are teachers. Rother shows how the company's core behavior patterns are taught to everyone inside the organization. Without a routine of teaching all employees at every level, motivation lags, capability is not developed, and missed opportunities for ingenuity abound.
  • Why improvement and adaptation should be part of every employee's day-to-day work life, not rare occurrences that automatically meet with resistance.
  • How to tap the true capabilities of everyone in the organization, spurring continual achievement of new levels of performance
  • And many more...

"Toyota Kata"

Review: This book does a great job of giving us two of Toyota’s most valuable assets that you would never see just by taking a gemba walk – the improvement kata and the coaching kata. Mike Rother does a great job of explaining these katas, how to learn and apply them. This book is what we need to move us beyond lean tools!
