Want an easy introduction to the Lean Business Culture for your leadership team? Try a book study of “The Toyota Engagement Equation” by Tracey and Ernie Richardson. Tracey describes her experience as a 19 year-old being hired, on-boarded, mentored, and eventually promoted at Toyota’s Georgetown, Kentucky assembly plant. The book describes the “feel” of the Lean culture: people-centered, disciplined, challenging, and deeply fulfilling.
