This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: I've been making music boxes and trying to replicate the traditional style (see attached photos). I'm struggling to get the curved edge just right. I've tried using a planer, but I keep messing up and have ended up wasting a lot of boards. Router round-overs almost work, but still need planed or sanded after routing to get the shape just right, and also they're pretty dangerous given the small and awkward size of the pieces—I'm working with ¾-inch thick wood that's 2.5 inches high for the box sides. I'd like a repeatable process that provides consistent shapes, but can't seem to find a way to achieve it.  Advice? Trish I've heard a few of your podcasts where you speak about making boxes and using a router to make the miter. I'm assuming you're using a bit with a 45° angle. What I don't understand is, how do you get the sides to be the exact same length while using your router table. It would seem to me that having the top of the angle (the point of the angle) against the fence would be almost impossible to get perfectly sized sides.  Can you please describe what I am missing here, since a perfect 45° angle using a route a bit seems incredibly simple. Mike G. Guys Questions: I have always tried to select straight grain for legs, aprons, stretchers and the frame of a frame and panel.  I am now thinking this may be too much straight grain in a piece of furniture. When are the times that you would not do this and would instead use a more interesting grain pattern in these pieces.  Does the wood species affect your choice? For example, it seems like the current trend with walnut is not worrying about getting any straight grain in the pieces at all.  Thanks for all your help. Jeff Hi from Melbourne Australia. I've been listening for years, and I like how y'all do things! Thanks for making the best woodworking pod. Like everyone, I have a small shop, that I fit a lot into. Without listing every item… I've got stationary machines covered with a euro style slider (Hammer K3), a 14” bandsaw (N4400) and a combo planer/thicknesser (A3-31). Those 3 cover my needs really well, and I've learned to work within the capacity of my tools and space. It's the secondary/benchtop machines that are causing trouble. Mitre saw was first to go. Don't miss it, don't need it. I'm looking at sanders next. The disc sander stays, couldn't live without it. But the 1632 drum sander and the oscillating bobbin sander are both rarely used and take up space I want back. Could you life without them? If not, what's the essential job they do for you? I'm usually making furniture sized objects. With the finish I get off the helical thicknesser, I find that hand planes/scrapers, ROS, and hand sanding is usually all I need. For bigger flat things, I'm gonna pay a pro shop to put it thru a wide belt sander anyway. Johnny Huys Questions: I was trained on a belt sander, and as Guy has mentioned, there is a learning curve. I'm now very proficient with one and it is a central part of my stock prep: from the planer, I belt sand a rough-sized board with 80 grit, wet it down and let it dry to raise any remaining compression marks from the planer, and then belt sand with 120. I then cut the board to final dimension, random orbital sand with 120, cut the joinery, and then random orbital sand the fitted piece to 180 before final assembly. The process leaves flawless surfaces every time. For panel glue-ups and tabletops, I glue up from the planer using cauls and then make sure the 80 grit belt sanding that follows evens out any discrepancies in height along the joints (hopefully they are minimal). I have zero experience with a drum sander, but I would consider getting one if it could replace some of the above belt sanding, as the belt sander is no light weight hand tool, and it's a killer on my back when I have to sand a full width dining table. I would likely get the PM2244, as I have heard it is the easiest to adjust. You all have mentioned that a drum sander does NOT offer a finish ready surface, as it leaves sanding ridges along the workpiece. This is not a problem in my workflow if it replaces the belt sander. My questions: Are these ridges similar to what I get with the belt sander for a given grit, or are they deeper, requiring by comparison to the belt sander extra time on the following grit? Since I am not seeking to dimension or flatten, but merely prep the surface for the next grit, would one pass in the drum sander for each grit be enough, or am I looking at multiple passes per grit? With a belt sander, there is a lot of back and forth, but with a drum sander I'm wondering if a single pass through will give the same result. How easy and fast is it to change the grit on a drum sander if I want to run 80 grit and then 120 in each sanding session? A dual drum unit is not in the budget. Finally, how reasonable is it to get good results sanding a tabletop that exceeds the width of the sander (i.e., the 22 in the Powermatic) but is within the bounds of the larger number (here, the 44)? With some practice, can I get reliable results, or does this just create more work after sanding, where I'll likely be pulling out the belt sander to even out a center ridge anyway? Keep in mind this could include tabletops from small night stands to full 8' dining tables. As a professional shop, the whole endeavor would be to save me some time and labor. Is it worth getting a drum sander for my workflow, or should I just stick to the belt sander? Michael After listening to your podcast this week I listened with interest the question that was posted by Jose about track saw blade deflection and you guys had a great response.  Unfortunately I was hoping that you would address the issue that I'm having with my Makita SP 6000 unit.  I bought this unit a couple of years ago and despite great reviews have been a little disappointed.  The saw seems to be underpowered.  It struggles getting through material whether its 3/4" plywood or thicker hardwood.  I started with the stock Makita blade 165x20 48 tooth then with with a CMT 165x20 24 tooth and am currently using a Ridge Carbide TRK16048A 48 tooth blade.  I have a Festool extractor and using Makita tracks.  The problem is the saw bogs down (I have to creep with the feed rate  and still have the issue although not as bad) and burning.  Also sometimes the right side of the track edges up where two tracks join causing the saw to catch.  I have the good TSO GRC12 track connectors.  The Makita ones are junk.  I What's up with this?  Do I need to move this thing out the door, bite the bullet and buy a Festool? Love the podcast. Tom

On a cold December evening in Surrey, England, two separate callers reported the same terrifying sight: headlights swerving off the busy A3 road and disappearing into the trees. Convinced they'd just witnessed a crash, police raced to the scene — but the road was empty, the barriers intact, and no fresh tire marks scarred the embankment. Still, the officers pressed on. Venturing deep into the undergrowth, they uncovered a nightmare: a badly wrecked car, hidden from view and overgrown by brush. The vehicle's battery was long dead, its headlights impossible to ignite. And nearby, they made a darker discovery — the decomposed skeletal remains of a man. The car belonged to a Londoner reported missing nearly a year earlier, in July of 2002. Dental records confirmed the bones were his. Pathologists estimated he'd been dead for months, killed in what looked like a crash no one had ever seen… until that December night. But how could members of the public report headlights veering off the road that very evening, when the man and his vehicle had been lost for almost a year? Did they witness a ghostly replay — a spectral “residual haunting” of the fatal crash, replaying itself to demand discovery? Or was it a strange twist of fate, coincidence aligning the living with the dead? #TrueGhostStory #Paranormal #HauntedUK #GhostlyReplay #PhantomCrash #PoliceMystery #CreepyStories #UnsolvedMystery #GhostStoriesOnline #RealHaunting Love real ghost stories?

In this essential episode, Bryan sits down with Jeff and Tom from Copeland to dive deep into the world of scroll compressors and the critical topic of refrigerant compatibility. As the HVAC industry navigates new refrigerant standards and regulations, understanding how compressors are specifically designed and optimized for different refrigerants has never been more important. The conversation begins with a comprehensive overview of refrigerant classifications, focusing on the A1, A2L, and A3 categories that technicians are encountering in the field. Jeff and Tom dispel common misconceptions, particularly around A2L refrigerants and their relationship to propane (R-290), clarifying that A2L refrigerants like R-454B and R-32 do not contain propane despite widespread confusion in the industry. They explain how regulatory pressures around Global Warming Potential (GWP) limits are driving the transition to these new refrigerants, with targets under 700 GWP for air conditioning applications. The technical discussion covers the fundamental operating principles of scroll compressors and why they've become the dominant technology in HVAC applications. With over 200 million scroll compressors sold by Copeland, the technology has proven its reliability and efficiency. However, the guests emphasize a crucial point that many in the industry overlook: each compressor is specifically optimized for particular refrigerants. This isn't just about basic compatibility – it's about precision engineering to meet efficiency requirements and ensure long-term reliability. The scroll geometry, oil viscosity, and internal components are all carefully matched to each refrigerant's unique properties. Safety takes center stage throughout the discussion, with both guests stressing that while A2L refrigerants are "mildly flammable," they require heightened safety practices that were previously considered best practices but are now mandatory. This includes nitrogen purging during brazing, proper evacuation procedures, comprehensive leak testing, and thorough documentation. The conversation also touches on the practical challenges contractors have faced, including refrigerant availability issues, while maintaining the importance of following proper procedures regardless of supply chain difficulties. Topics Covered: Refrigerant Classifications: A1 (non-flammable), A2L (slightly flammable), and A3 (flammable) categories and their safety implications Compressor Optimization: How scroll compressors are specifically engineered for each refrigerant, including R-454B and R-32 applications New Compressor Naming Conventions: Introduction of "Y" series compressors for A2L and A3 refrigerants, replacing the traditional "Z" series Oil Viscosity Requirements: Different POE oil specifications (32 vs 46 viscosity) for various refrigerants and temperature conditions Safety Protocols: Enhanced safety requirements for A2L refrigerants, including mandatory nitrogen purging and leak testing procedures Glide Characteristics: Understanding temperature glide in R-454B (2.4 degrees) versus single-component R-32 Refrigeration Applications: Multi-refrigerant capability in commercial refrigeration compressors and natural refrigerant trends Service Compressor Strategy: LX series compressors designed to cover multiple R-410A applications for aftermarket needs Regulatory Timeline: Upcoming January 1, 2026 GWP limits for supermarket refrigeration systems Tools and Resources: Copeland Mobile app for compressor selection, cross-referencing, and technical specifications Training Importance: Critical need for enhanced technician education and OEM-specific training programs   Visit the EPA's website to stay up to date on the latest HFC phasedown rulings and information at https://www.epa.gov/climate-hfcs-reduction.  Keep up with Copeland at https://www.copeland.com/ and on their Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

What if the real secret to customer loyalty and transformation isn't just about great ideas, but about how you build consensus within your organization—before you make a single move? Too often, even the smartest strategies can get derailed by resistance, misalignment, or simple miscommunication inside a company. That's why I was eager to dig into the Japanese concept of "Nemawashi," a systematic approach to consensus-building that's been central to Toyota's legendary pursuit of customer delight and continuous improvement. Imagine cutting through internal silos and getting people not just to "buy in," but to truly commit—streamlining innovation from inside out. The impact? Smarter, faster, and more sustainable change that sticks. If you care about transforming customer experience and sparking lasting organizational change, you don't want to miss this episode with Dr. Graham Hill. He brings not only a global perspective but also hands-on experience as the former head of CRM for Toyota Financial Services—where these very principles drove jaw-dropping results. Dr. Hill's blend of academic rigor, practical insight, and international expertise makes this a must-listen for anyone looking to break down barriers and drive real, measurable progress. Here are three standout questions Graham answers on the show: What is Nemawashi, and how does it fundamentally change the way organizations drive internal consensus and transformation? Why is commitment more important than simple executive buy-in when trying to make organizational change succeed? How can the A3 model and concepts like Gemba and Kaizen help teams collaborate more effectively and boost campaign results? Don't miss this fascinating exploration—listen and subscribe to the Delighted Customers podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or find us on all your favorite podcast platforms. Meet Dr. Graham Hill Dr. Graham Hill is a recognized global authority on customer experience, loyalty, and organizational transformation. With an extensive background spanning over thirty-five years, Graham has worked with top brands such as British Airways, Ford Motor Company, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and notably spent over five years with Toyota Financial Services in Germany as Head of CRM. There, he learned firsthand the power of Japanese business principles like Nemawashi, the A3 model, and Kaizen—applying them to drive breakthrough improvements, including a leap from a 5–10% to a 35% response rate in customer campaigns. He's also held senior roles at firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG Consulting, bringing both rigorous academic and practical expertise to the table. While Graham humbly resists the title of "Japanese culture expert," his immersion in Toyota's approach has given him a unique perspective on the art and science of organizational change. Today, he's active on LinkedIn—passionate about sharing what he's learned and helping others cultivate more collaborative, customer-centric organizations.

Enter to win a copy of "The Problem Solver's Toolkit" by Tracy O'Rourke and Elisabeth Swan by September 12.Organizations invest thousands of dollars and countless hours into lean, Six Sigma, and other continuous improvement training programs. Certifications get awarded. Belts get earned.But nothing actually changes.Technical problem-solving training alone isn't enough to drive meaningful impact. Without guidance and support on how to apply problem-solving tools—and the people-side of leading change—improvements stall. In this episode of Chain of Learning, I'm joined by Tracy O'Rourke and Elisabeth Swan, co-founders of the Just-in-Time Café and co-authors of "The Problem-Solver's Toolkit." With more than 50 years of combined Lean Six Sigma experience, they've trained and coached thousands of problem-solvers across industries—from healthcare and government to manufacturing and service—helping teams turn knowledge into real results.Whatever problem-solving method you use—DMAIC, PDCA, or an A3—you'll walk away with practical insights to help you bridge the gap between knowledge and action.YOU'LL LEARN:Why traditional training programs fail to create lasting problem-solving capability—and what to do insteadThe importance of bringing others along in a change project and staying flexible and curious as the work evolvesWhy successful and sustainable problem-solving requires both technical know-how and people skillsHow to engage teams, navigate change, and keep momentum going while leading a process improvement team How to close the gap between learning and doing by turning skills into real-world resultsABOUT MY GUESTS:Tracy O'Rourke is a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, and co-founder of the Just-in-Time Café. As a sought-after consultant, instructor, and speaker with over 25 years of experience, Tracy specializes in cultural change, leadership development, strategic alignment, and process improvement. Elisabeth Swan is a leadership coach, keynote speaker, award-winning author of “Picture Yourself a Leader”, and co-founder of the Just-in-Time Café.

Air Date 8/27/2025 RFK Jr. and the Make America Healthy Again movement aren't completely wrong about everything, they often identify the larger structural problems with the US health industrial complex even if their proposed solutions are wildly off the mark. But the problem they failed to see coming when partnering with Trump and the Republicans is that they're only going to be allowed to misguidedly defund and dismantle parts of the government that support health which is in line with the broader burn-it-all-down vibes of the MAGA movement, but under no circumstances will they be allowed to implement new regulations that might actually do the public some good at the expense of corporate interests because that would go against the pro-corporate/deregulation obsession of the Republican Party. So, MAHA might be a mixed bag but what the country is getting is a lose/lose. Be part of the show!

He was a key part of Kan-Pro senior leadership development program, which embedded A3 thinking as the process for problem-solving, communication, and leadership development across the organization—and has deep expertise in the practice of hoshin-kanri—Toyota's strategy deployment process.

My guest for Episode #532 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Anne Frewin, a seasoned Lean leader with over 12 years of improvement experience in healthcare, laboratories, and manufacturing. Updated with the correct audio Episode page with video, transcript, and more Anne's background in finance and healthcare administration provided her with a unique entry point into Lean -- first supporting improvement efforts through data, and then stepping fully into the role of change agent. She shares the story of how a persistent mentor who always asked "why" helped her shift from just reporting metrics to developing problem-solving thinking and leading transformation efforts herself. In this conversation, Anne and I explore how Lean principles, such as respect for people, effective idea systems, and a problem-solving culture, manifest in real-world settings. She explains why she prioritizes coaching people to become relentless problem solvers and how systems like visual management and simple idea boards, when supported with good questions, can lead to safer, more efficient work. We also discuss how Lean applies differently (but effectively) across industries, the balance between improvement and documentation, and how to avoid siloed thinking when solving cross-functional challenges--especially in healthcare. "A strong idea system is the first real show of respect for people--it tells the frontline we value their insight and want them to own the solution." Anne also shares her perspective on Lean, Six Sigma, and Lean Six Sigma, offering a practical framework for how these approaches can coexist while serving different purposes. Throughout the episode, we reflect on systems thinking, psychological safety, and the importance of learning through experimentation. Whether you're in healthcare, manufacturing, or any people-centric industry, Anne's passion for leadership development and continuous improvement offers valuable insights. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: How did you first get exposed to Lean, and why did it resonate with you? Looking back, did your mentor's persistent "why" questions help develop your thinking more than if he had been directive? How would you explain the concept of a Lean operating system to an executive unfamiliar with it? What's the difference between "respecting people" and "respect for people" in your view? Can you share an example of an effective idea system that truly engages frontline staff? How do you balance employee-generated ideas with the need for leadership support and coaching? What's your approach to helping people decide whether to use a rapid improvement event, an A3, or a PDSA cycle? What are the three questions you use to evaluate whether an idea is safe to try? How do you coach teams to iterate and learn from problems when working across functional silos? Can you share a healthcare example where process mapping revealed hidden breakdowns or assumptions? How do you handle improvement suggestions that require significant changes, like IT systems or facility layout? How do you view the relationship between safety, quality, delivery, and financial performance? What's your perspective on Lean vs. Six Sigma vs. Lean Six Sigma, based on your experience? How do you see variation reduction as part of Lean, not just Six Sigma? What was it like moving from healthcare into manufacturing? What was surprisingly transferable? Did you encounter documentation or quality systems in manufacturing that got in the way of improvement? How do you deal with the extremes--either lack of standardization or over-control through documentation? What reflections do you have about the human side of improvement--what helps people succeed in these systems? This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network.

In August 2005, 20-year-old U.S. Army soldier Joshua Bennett returned home to Illinois, grieving the unexpected loss of his father. Ne reconnects with his mother, who invited him to stay the night at her home, but within hours, Joshua would be murdered in his mother's home by a group of people who believed they were under the influence of a witch's curse. The murder of Joshua Bennett is a senseless killing fueled by occult paranoia, the power of influence, and a revenge plot gone horribly wrong. At the center: an alleged hex, a woman obsessed with retribution, and a small-town “coven” convinced that violence was their only way out.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for A Hateful HomicideA Hateful Homicide is a true crime podcast launched on March 31, 2021, by Transgender advocate Mallery Jenna Robinson. The podcast covers global homicide cases of all trans identities.Listen here14 News WFIE Evansville.

Hemos hecho vídeos de la historia de muchas marcas… pero nos faltaba nada menos que Audi. La historia de esta marca es larga y complicada así que la voy a hacer “a mi manera”, contando brevemente cómo nació la marca y repasando los 10 coches que a mí me parecen claves en su historia… a ver qué os parece la idea. Aunque la historia de Audi se puede remontar a 1899 cuando nace la marca Horch, semilla de la actual empresa, la Audi moderna nace en realidad en 1965 cuando pasa a formar parte del Grupo VAG o Volkswagen AG. En el vídeo damos un repaso a los años que van de 1899 a 1965. Aquí vamos con el listado de coches. 100 coupé C1 (1969). ¿El primer Audi Premium? Podría estar en esta lista el 100 berlina, que ya contaba con muchas de las cualidades de este coupé, pero es que esta marca desde el principio ha cuidado los modelos deportivos y coupés, esos que la han ayudado a tener la imagen de marca tan buena que ahora tiene… y esos que esta, lamentablemente, abandonando. Quattro (1980). Y todo fue diferente. Clave, porque su enorme éxito en competición, el hecho de cambiar por completo la tecnología en el mundo de los rallyes, y sus éxitos pusieron a la marca en primera fila como marca tecnológica y capaz de hacer coches muy sofisticados y eficaces… y como decía, fue el comienzo de la tecnología “Quattro”, con distintas tecnologías, hasta el día de hoy. 100 C3 (1982). Aerodinámica e inyección directa. Este 100 fue probablemente el primer coche de serie que llevaba los cristales enrasados con la carrocería, uno de los motivos de que su CX se situase en el 0,30, muy notable en su momento. Luego en 1989 llegó el motor turbodiésel de 2,5 litros con inyección directa, los famosos, para bien y para mal, TDi… recordad el “dieselgate”. A8 (1994). Chasis de aluminio y tracción total. En 1994 ni BMW ni Mercedes ofrecían una buena tracción total y una carrocería de aluminio para compensar el sobre peso de la tracción “Quattro”. Este modelo asestó un duro golpe de imagen a su competencia. RS2 Avant (1994). Con la ayuda de Porsche. Este break, o Avant como los llama Audi, era y es un verdadero devorador de las autopistas de velocidad libre en Alemania. Porsche ayudó en la puesta a punto del motor y del bastidor. El motor era un 5 cilindros de 2.226 cm3, 20 válvulas y un gran turbocompresor de forma que se alcanzaban los 315 CV. A3 (1998). Crecer por abajo. Este coche me parecía un Golf disfrazado de Audi y cuando lo probé me di cuenta de que no, era una declaración de intención es de Audi de que podía crecer hacia abajo, pero proponiendo coches con todo el ADN de Audi. Y ese A3 durante sus ya 4 generaciones, lo ha conseguido... TT (1998). ¡Te echamos de menos! Echo de menos al TT doblemente. Primero, porque tuve un TTS de la segunda generación con motor 2.0 TFSi de 272 CV y un excepcional cambio de doble embrague de 6 marchas… le echo de menos. Y todos le echaremos de menos porque ha dejado de fabricarse. R8 LMP (2000). ¡Cinco victorias en Le Mans! Este modelo fue el comienzo. En este momento Audi es la segunda marca con más victorias en las 24 horas de Le Mans, con 12+1, detrás de Porsche con 19. Y todo comenzó con este espectacular coche. RS4 B7 (2005). Lobo con piel de cordero. Y es que este coche, ya sea en berlina o Avant, parece un inocente coche familiar. Pero en su interior se esconde un motor de 4,2 litros y 420 CV combinado con la tracción total tipo Quattro. Se puede decir que Audi con este coche se reafirmó como constructor de coche de estética “inocente”, prácticos y con prestaciones de auténtico deportivo. R8 (2006). ¡Tiembla Ferrari! En realidad, este Audi seguía más el camino que abrió el Honda NSX que la gama Ferrari. Porque era un coupé de altas prestaciones, pero al mismo tiempo muy utilizable en el día a día, incluso confortable y amable. A esa “amabilidad” de su comportamiento colaboraba la tracción total. He probado estos coches en carretera y a fondo en circuito, en 2015, nada menos que Montmeló la versión V10 Plus de 610 CV… y me sorprende los “fácil” que resulta un coche de este nivel. Otro modelo que Audi ya ha dejado de fabricar… ya les diría a los “chicos” de Audi, ¿estáis seguros de lo que hacéis? Conclusión. Sinceramente a Audi le costó mucho esfuerzo ponerse a la par de las otras marcas Premium alemanas como BMW y Mercedes. Y lo consiguió a base de hacer buenos coches, de ser muy dinámicos presentando nuevos modelos de forma incesante y estando presente con modelos que son verdaderos “motores de imagen” para la marca. En cambio, últimamente, han estado un poco despistados o no han tenido mucho acierto. Su apuesta “a muerte” por los eléctricos, de Audi y de prácticamente todo el grupo VAG, casi ignorando a los híbridos, se ha mostrado todo un error.

A global economic crisis is dragging down sales.Departments are working in silos and leaders at all levels are arguing about priorities. Managers are too busy to coach their teams.You might think this describes your organization today—and it was the exact situation Toyota faced nearly 50 years ago.This challenge sparked one of the most ambitious and influential—and least known outside Japan—leadership development programs in Toyota's history: the Kanri Nouryoku Program, or Kan-Pro for short. “Kanri” meaning management, and “Nouryoku” meaning capability.Kan-Pro helped establish the people-centered learning culture Toyota is famous for today and embedded A3 thinking as a foundational process for problem-solving, communication, and leadership development.I invited Isao Yoshino—a 40-year Toyota leader who was one of the key team members who helped create and lead the program—to share his experience in two pivotal moments in Toyota's evolution and how he learned to lead cultural leadership transformation from a place of influence, not authority. Join me and Mr. Yoshino—also the subject of my Shingo-award winning book Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn — as we celebrate its 5-year anniversary this month!YOU'LL LEARN:The problem Toyota was trying to solve—and how Kan-Pro emerged as the countermeasureThe leadership styles of Masao Nemoto vs. Taiichi Ohno—and how both shaped Toyota's culture through the development of Toyota Way management culture and the Toyota Production System How Mr. Yoshino learned to coach and develop more senior executives as a mid-level internal change leaderThe process that established A3 thinking as the standard for leadership development, communication, and problem-solving across ToyotaCritical leadership behaviors that led to Toyota's success—which have come to be known as “lean management”Stay tuned for Episode 50 where Mr. Yoshino shares his major assignment to “change the culture”—how he and his team, including Lean Global Network Chairman John Shook, led the training and transformation of frontline American leaders at NUMMI, the GM–Toyota joint venture in the 1980s.ABOUT MY GUEST:Isao Yoshino, worked at Toyota Motor Corporation for over 40 years—from the late 1960s to the early 2000s—and played an important role in the development of Toyota's people-centered learning culture it's now famous for. He was a key part of Kan-Pro senior leadership development program, which embedded A3 thinking as the process for problem-solving, communication, and leadership development across the organization—and has deep expertise in the practice of hoshin-kanri—Toyota's strategy deployment process.IMPORTANT LINKS:Full episode show notes: ChainOfLearning.com/47My website with resources and ways to work with me KBJAnderson.comFollow me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kbjandersonDownload my free KATALYST™ Change Leader Self-Assessment: KBJAnderson.com/katalyst Learn more about the Japan Leadership Experience: kbjanderson.com/japantrip My book featuring lessons from Isao Yoshino's 40 years of Toyota Leadership: LearningToLeadLeadingToLearn.comTIMESTAMPS FOR THIS EPISODE:03:51 The leadership shift behind the Toyota Way towards a people centered approach06:03 How Taiichi Ohno shaped the Toyota Production System and Masao Nemoto shaped Toyota Way style leadership07:41 Closing Toyota's leadership gap and how Kan-Pro emerged as a countermeasure12:41 Why committed top-down leadership ownership is essential to creating organizational culture14:46 How seriousness and patience sets Toyota apart15:17 Why Toyota created Kan-Pro to 're-tighten the belt' on leadership capabilities and why they need to refocus on leadership capabilities every generation18:55 The leader's role in setting direction and providing support to their people 20:40 The mindset shift in top management to not to fake it21:17 Mr. Yoshino's experience coaching senior leaders through hands-on A3 learning25:38 Key influence skills Mr. Yoshino learned from great Toyota managers28:12 The importance of respect by senior leaders even when there's resistance to change28:58 Being a Yes-Minded Persuader – a key KATALYST™ Chang Leader competency –  in bringing leaders along in change 31:25 Lessons from coaching senior leaders using A3 thinking during Kan-Pro35:45 The positive shift when leaders prepare the A3 themselves37:48 Importance of handwritten A3s to senior executives41:13 The significance of a leader stamping their hanko on an A3 document43:35 Why an A3 at Toyota is different compared to most companies45:16 Mr. Yoshino's highlights in participating in Katie's Japan Leadership Experience lean management tours 48:29 Leading change involves empathy, patience, and helping others change themselves48:50 Questions to reflect on as a change agent in your organization Apply for the Nov 2025 Japan Leadership Experience https://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/ 

En este podcast contamos con la colaboración de Airbnb https://www.airbnb.es/. Te voy a contar algunas experiencias que he tenido disfrutando de sus servicios, que seguro te van a dar buenas ideas a la hora de viajar. Primero hicimos el podcast de “Coches que me asustaron”, luego una segunda entrega titulada “Coches que me decepcionaron” y ahora llega la tercera, consecuencia de las anteriores: Coches de los que esperaba poco... ¡y me sorprendieron! Claro está que para bien. Os traigo 10 casos en los que mis “tablas” de periodista no impidieron que los coches me sorprendiesen. Opel Kadett (1984). Este coche me sorprendió. El motor era una delicia, gastaba poco, no poco, ¡muy poco! Corría, era establa, cómodo y de una calidad para mi casi desconocida en un coche de esa categoría. En esos años Opel estaba muy fuerte... no como ahora. Citroën Visa GTi (1985). En esta lista hay 3 Citroën… curioso. El Visa era un coche que convencía, pero no enamoraba… no era esa su función. Pero no fue el caso del GTi. No sé si por la mayor ligereza del Visa, si por sus 30 mm extras de distancia entre ejes o por la puesta a punto, pero este Citroën no resultaba tan dulce como el 205, pero era en mi opinión más eficaz, mucho más barato y me sorprendió… Peugeot 205 GTX (1986). Ya había probado el 205 GTi de 105 CV y me había gustado mucho por su equilibrio entre prestaciones, confort y facilidad de conducción. Pero era un coche carísimo, mucho más que sus rivales. Cuando en 1986 pude probar el GTX con motor 1.6 de 96 CV, me pareció una opción más recomendable que el carísimo GTi con 9 CV más. La estética era muy parecida, el comportamiento similar y resultaba mucho, muchísimo más barato. Fiat Tipo (1988). El Tipo, venía a sustituir al Fiat Ritmo, un coche que conocía muy bien, tanto en versión Fiat como Seat, como Ritmo o como Ronda, prácticamente lo mismo. Un coche, el Ritmo, que no me entusiasmaba mucho si he de ser sincero. Y esperaba que el Tipo fuese mejor… pero no “tanto” mejor. Para comenzar al natural me pareció precioso el diseño conjunto entre I.DE.A Institute (Turín) y el Centro Stile Fiat bajo la dirección del diseñador Ercole Spada. BMW 318i (1989). Hablo de la generación E30. Había probado el 320i con motor 2 litros de 6 cilindros en línea y 125 CV. No era un motor con muchos bajos, pero era “finísimo” y subía de vueltas que daba gusto. También había probado el 318i con motor de 4 cilindros 1.8 y 110 CV. Más equilibrado, por peso, pero de escasa potencia par ser un BMW. Y de repente BMW anuncia si 318is, con el motor de 318, pero con culata de 16 válvulas y 136 CV. R19 16v Cabrio (1991). El R19 ni siquiera en sus versiones más deportivas, era un coche que despertase pasiones por su estética. Y pensé: Pues si a un R19 16v le quitamos el techo y el coche es menos rígido… pues, pero para todo. Fiat Coupé (1993). Este modelo en 1996 llegó a montar el maravilloso motor de 5 cilindros con 20 válvulas y turbo que desarrollaba 220 CV. Pero el que yo probé llevaba el motor del Integrale, pero “rebajado” a 185 CV. El bastidor de este coche, muy afinado, guardaba un “as” en su manga: El uso de autoblocante Fergusson. Audi A3 (1996). Recuerdo que era director de una revista mensual y en el último momento nos llegó la info del Audi A3. Escribí yo mismo, con prisas, el reportaje hecho con fotos e información oficiales y cambiamos la portada poniendo una buena foto de A3 y el titular de “El Golf de Audi” que es la conclusión que saqué leyendo el dossier oficial de la marca. Periodísticamente fue un acierto porque la revista se vendió bien. Pero cuando por fin pude probar el A3 me di cuenta de mi error: Citroën Berlingo (1996). La propuesta de Citroën con el Berlingo parecía muy sensata: Diseñar un coche desde cero pensado en hacer una pequeña furgoneta. Llegó a la redacción y me la llevé esa tarde… después de tres semáforos y apena un kilómetro me enamoré de la Berlingo. Citroën Xsara Picasso (2000). Lo del nombre Picasso, que por cierto no fue nada fácil, me parecía. Pero un nombre bonito no hace mejor a un coche. Pero una vez que lo probe… ¡me pareció genial! De repente la mecánica y bastidas del sencillo Xsara lucia más, la visibilidad era magnifica, el coche amplio y práctico, y además de confortable tenía una estabilidad a prueba de bombas…
