Podcast #90 features Tim Turner, a team leader at Toyota's factory in Georgetown Kentucky (aka TMMK or Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky). He is the author, along with a team of co-workers, of the new book called One Team on All Levels: Stories from Toyota Team Members, Second Edition.
In the podcast, we discuss the book and the culture of teamwork at Toyota. Tim also comments on his reaction (and his colleagues') to Toyota's recent quality problems and the resulting bad publicity.

Great podcast, Mark!
Thanks Mark for the opportunity to share the team members story at TMMK. It was a pleasure talking to you.
Thanks Tim for the kind words..I feel so blessed to share a testimony that shows people of the world that we at Toyota of Kentucky are very passionate about the cars we build and the people that buy them!! God bless you brother!!
It’s really great that this book is out to dis-spell that impersonal big-business mindset Americans have about auto manufacturers. I really enjoyed hearing about the “softer” side of Toyota. It sounds like an effective model for taking care of the employees while still being committed to a quality product.
