Understand the strength of others.]] Combine your strengths together to solve problems much bigger than one individual person. - "[[If we were good at everything, we wouldn't need the team - we'd just need ourselves]]." - Toyota's workflow "was never about efficiency. It was finding a better way of doing things." Efficiency is a side-effect, not the goal. - [[Kaizen]] - Provide exposure for how different parts of the organization works. To create a shared understanding. To create blended teams. - "Somebody is brining a point of view that nobody on that team has!" - [[The value of a team is in it's diverse perspective, not purely in it's collective effort]]. - "In small companies, everyone does everything. [[In big companies, we become titanium silos of excellence]]. We're close to what people have to say because 'they don't understand' as oppose to being curious about what other people have to say." ## Original ![[Learning from Toyota-1.jpg]] ![[Learning from Toyota-2.jpg]]
