The book also reaches beyond Toyota to explain issues of human behavior in organizations and provide specific answers to questions such as:\nHow can we make improvement and adaptation part of everyday work throughout the organization? How can we develop and utilize the capability of everyone in the organization to repeatedly work toward and achieve new levels of performance? How can we give an organization the power to handle dynamic, unpredictable situations and keep satisfying customers? Mike Rother explains how to improve our prevailing management approach through the practice of two Kata: the Improvement Kata--a repeating routine of establishing challenging target conditions, working step-by-step through obstacles, and always learning from the problems we encounter; and the Coaching Kata: a practice routine for teaching the Improvement Kata to employees at every level to ensure it motivates their ways of thinking and acting.\n\nWith clear detail, an abundance of practical examples, and a cohesive explanation from start to finish, Toyota Kata gives managers, supervisors and team leaders actionable routines of thought and behavior that produce superior results and sustained competitive advantage.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0071635238\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0071635238.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rother, Mike\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in like new condition.
