In Developing Lean Leaders at all Levels we build on the theory in the original book, The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership, and answer the questions: How can I apply this in my organization? What concrete actions can I take to begin the journey of becoming a lean leader? How can I spread this learning to all parts of the organization? What critical tools are needed to turn the theory to practice? This book adds examples from over twenty years of experience by Dr. Liker in working with companies outside of Toyota. This audiobook treats you as a student who will be actively engaged in developing lean leader skills as you read. It acts as a tutorial for beginning the journey!

Would you consider the audio edition of Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels to be better than the print version?

You should have both, but the audio version is very useful for the person on the go. I would purchase both

Who was your favorite character and why?

George Trachilis, his questions were timely and interesting

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I could not stop listening to the audio, I had previously read the book, but the audio brings the information to life

Any additional comments?

If you are going to only purchase one book about Lean Leadership, this is the one

Liker & Trachilis have created a winner....

What made the experience of listening to Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels the most enjoyable?

The content of the book is pretty decent, but the narration was the worst I have ever heard. Another review compared it to the computer generated audio of a 1980s computer. I think that is a pretty good description. Siri or Cortana would have sounded much more human than this actual human narrator.

How could the performance have been better?

I had my friend who is a musician listen to the audio to tell me if he knew why it sounded so bad. He guessed that the audio had been run through some sort of pitch correcting software which had the effect of making the human narrator sound like a really bad computer generated narration.

Any additional comments?

Rerecord the book and let Siri read it...

Terrible, Distracting Narration

Would you try another book from Jeffrey K. Liker and George Trachilis and/or Ron Carter?

I like Jeffrey Liker, but this book did not deliver. The content was OK but it was not a guide on how to, and it wasn't enlightening with information not found elsewhere. The narration was so bland it sounded like a 1980's computer.

Decent content, horrible narration

A jump start for emerging leaders, and a wake up call for these, who have been entangled for too long.

Amazing read!

Very high level covering many topics. Not enough details in any given topic to apply without further research or hiring a consultant. It would be a good book to help formulate a vision for a company just starting their Lean Journey,

All of the books I have read so far from Jeffrey Liker have been very influential on my thinking about management/leadership. The books are fantastic. I am now listening to Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels for the second time and I am continuing to pick up principles that change the way I think about lean and leadership. A big thank you to Jeffrey Liker and George Trachilis for this addition to the Toyota Way series.

Continuing to enjoy the Toyota Way series of books

Seems like a very good material was some great insights. Just wish I could hear it better and that the narration wasn't flat.

Good book, poor audio/narration
