How an “Action Plan” Succeeds

“Critical to Toyota’s success is single-point accountability. One person’s name goes up next to each item in an action plan. But in order to succeed, the individual responsible must work with the team, draw on its collective talents, listen closely to all team members’ opinions, work to build consensus, and ultimately give credit for success to the team.”
