I work for one of those fading behemoths - but not an auto company. If there is any positive, from my experience, it is that there are true disciples of Lean lower in the ranks trying to implement Lean as it is intended.

I really enjoy listening to Jim Womack's observations. The 10-15 year perspectives on various companies is really interesting. It's rare to see informed commentary on organizations that spans several years. I think this is where much understanding is to be found, however. The Jim Collins book "Good To Great" falls into this category as well. Most media reports on the state of the moment, or at most the trend for the past several months, which can be misleading. One of the reasons I find the Toyota story compelling is the length of time that Toyota has pursued their strategy based on their core principles. Great podcast.
