Podcast #90 features Tim Turner, a team leader at Toyota’s factory in Georgetown Kentucky (aka TMMK or Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky). He is the author, along with a team of co-workers, of the new book called “One Team On All Levels: The Story Of The Toyota Team Members
In the podcast, we discuss the book and the culture of teamwork at Toyota. Tim also comments on his reaction (and his colleagues’) to Toyota’s recent quality problems and the resulting bad publicity.

It’s really great that this book is out to dis-spell that impersonal big-business mindset Americans have about auto manufacturers. I really enjoyed hearing about the “softer” side of Toyota. It sounds like an effective model for taking care of the employees while still being committed to a quality product.
