How Toyota Became #1

Everyone knows that Toyota has had an amazing twenty-five- year run, rising from a humble Japanese start-up to a thriving global giant. But how did it pass Ford and GM to become the world?s largest auto manufacturer? And how does it continue to thrive while so many competitors are struggling and failing?

Journalist David Magee dug deeply into Toyota?s past and present, interviewing senior executives who rarely talk to the press, along with many other sources. The powerful lessons that he distills, especially about corporate culture, are valuable for managers in all industries.David Magee is the author of several works, including How Toyota Became #1: Leadership from the World’s Greatest Car Company, The John Deere Way: Performance that Endures, and The Education of Mr. Mayfield: An Unusual Story of Social Change at Ole Miss.
