The Toyota Way - 14 Management principles

I have a friend who works for Toyota, he is a mid level manager and has been there for a good number of years. He lives and breathes the Toyota management philosophy and whenever I get together with him we will chat about the principles behind the philosophy and he will give me his latest insights into how this amazing organisation puts these principles into practice.
