“The most important thing for Toyota is people. Toyota is all about teaching and training people

and building a culture of continuous improvement. We don’t care about the next

hybrid, the next engineering marvel, not even the next sales strategy.

Our number one concern is how to build our people and how to build a culture of continuous

improvement.”
