In one of my previous posts, I had talked about an article I wrote for business review magazine. It got published in the Dec 2008 issue. The article discusses following ten ‘wisdoms’ from Toyota for its managers:
- Open the Window. It’s a big world out there !
- Make the most sincere efforts in your assigned position
- Taking on challenges is the way to gain experience
-
Be an Innovative and Creative Thinker
-
More uncertain the future, more important to have courage
-
If a problem is left unsolved and the superior is uninformed, neither Kaizen nor cost reduction can be applied
-
Unless we establish a unique pattern of control and organization, no amount of financial resources will be sufficient
-
Eliminate muda, mura, muri completelyÂ
-
Ask ‘Why’ five times about every matter
-
Trust is key
