Find out the secret behind Toyota’s continued success and what have they done differently to develop their leadership team. Take this journey with George Trachilis as he shares his experiences touring Toyota in Japan and as a Shingo Prize winning contributor to the book authored by Jeffrey K. Liker (best-selling author of The Toyota Way).
The Lean Leadership Development Model (LLDM) is the centerpiece of this session. Based on the 2016 Shingo Award Winning book, George discusses the True North Values of the Toyota Way Methodology and covers the four steps of the Lean Leadership Development Model:
- Commit to Self-Development
- Coach and Develop Others
- Support Daily Kaizen
- Create Vision and Align Goals
Perry will share how he uses the LLDM to develop lean leaders throughout his company, from senior managers, middle managers, project managers, to field leaders. Perry and George are co-authors of the recently released book "Lean Construction Leaders, A Trade Partners Guide to Lean".
