Description
Take the Kata path to scientific thinking and superior results!
In this long-awaited companion to the groundbreaking book Toyota Kata, Mike Rother takes you to the following level of developing business mindset and capability for the 21st Century. A lot more than a list of management concepts, The Toyota Kata Practice Guide walks you through the process of making improvement, adaptation, or even innovation routine behavior.
Designed to assist a coach (the manager) and a learner work together for developing new skillsets, The Toyota Kata Practice Guide delivers the information, insight, and frameworks you wish to have to:
* Form habits that can help you solve problems and achieve challenging goals
* Modify the thought patterns that drive your behavior
* Develop an organizational mindset that drives superior results
The Improvement Kata gives learners the means to experiment their way through obstacles and achieve tough goals; the Coaching Kata gives managers the means to accelerate and cement their people’s learning.
In the brand new age of business, increasing efficiency and decreasing costs is no longer the end game. A manager’s job these days is to develop patterns of thinking and acting in their people who lead to success with any challenge. Consistent, mindful practice is one of the best ways to do it―and The Toyota Kata Practice Guide is one of the best ways to get there.
