Author of Clarity First and The Outstanding Organization
âIf youâre interested in lean and learning, this is an absolute must-read! Katie Andersonâs brilliant and original concept of warp (our deeper interests and goals) and weft (what we discover and learn in our journey) â illustrated through the real-life experience of Isao Yoshino, one of Toyotaâs great sensei â makes a unique, pleasant, and illuminating read. Donât miss it.â
âThis is a wise book that weaves a story of leadership between two core principles of purpose (i.e., what shapes us) and discovery (i.e., what defines us). It will be fascinating for students of lean; should be essential for students of leadership.â
âKatie explains how Yoshino found his North Star, overcame adversity, framed situations in a positive way, learned from failure, and always developed the people he worked with as well as himself. If you reflect on and heed its wisdom, you will become a better person, and a better coach and manager. A gift to treasure in a dark time.â
Co-author of The Machine That Changed the World and Lean Thinking
"Informative, inspiring and entertaining. ... I am grateful to Katie for capturing Isao Yoshino's story...and for going beyond just documenting history, but weaving it all into a rich tapestry that readers of many interests will find compelling and useful."
and Chairman of the Lean Global Network
"'Learning to Lead, Leading' to Learn may be the only book you'll ever need to read if you want to truly understand what makes Toyota tick."
