Editorial Review: Product Description: Toyota doesn't just produce cars; it produces talented people. In the international bestseller, The Toyota Way, Jeffrey Liker explained Toyota's remarkable success through a 4P model for excellence-Philosophy, People, Problem Solving, and Process. Liker, with coauthor David Meier, provided deeper insight into the practical application of the principles in The Toyota Way Fieldbook. Now, these authorities on Toyota reveal how you can develop talented people and achieve incredible results in your company. Toyota Talent walks you through the rigorous methodology used by this global powerhouse to grow high-performing individuals from within. Beginning with a review of Toyota's landmark approach to developing people, the authors illustrate the critical importance of creating a learning and teaching culture in your organization. They provide specific examples necessary to train employees in all areas-from the shop floor to engineering to staff members in service organizations-and show you how to support and encourage every individual to reach his or her top potential. Toyota Talent provides you with the inside knowledge you need to
Guiding you with expert tips and training aids, as well as real-world examples drawn from the authors' two decades of research and field work, Liker and Meier show you how to get the most out of people who live and breathe your company's philosophy-and who work together toward a common goal.

 Rating:  - Addresses A Major Component of Toyota's SuccessInformation on the Toyota Production System has been widely available for over 30 years - yet, no other company has been able to completely duplicate its success.

I am pretty satisfied with my aqquisition. Rating: - Toyota Talent - An excellent book to read!Liker and Meier did a good job to explain the TWI and Standard Work in different types of industry. This book also provides many detailed examples with implementation instructions for developing talented people within organizations. As a lean practitioner, this book becomes very handy when I work with cross-functional teams. This is a must read book to all decision makers who work with people!!! Rating:  - Probably could have been a lot shorterThis book started off as a pretty boring book running on and on. It must have stated one point 3 different ways before it went to the next point. After about the 1st hundred pages it finally stopped doing that and became an enjoyable Toyota Way book that will surely help my company in our future implementation plan. I think one of the negatives is that the author made reference that this is not a DIY project (meaning that companies with no lean experts could handle this is absolute BS). I think the ... Read More Rating: - Excellent description of Toyota's training methodLiker and Meier did it again and wrote again an excellent book. This time it's the first in a new series about Toyota. I cannot wait for the next ones to be released. Toyota Talent's main content is the training methods used by Toyota which originates from the Training Within Industry, Job Instruction module. Training within Industry was a US program to help the war effort. After the war, they send the trainers to Japan to help the Japanese industry. The TWI material made it in Toyota ...
