Call for Book Proposals

January 26th, 2004 by Hal

We need your help. Listeners were so happy with the first conversation with David Schmaltz that Greg Howell and I have decided to book an additional six interviews through the end of the year. Please tell me about books and their authors that you'd like us to interview.

Our focus is on projects and leadership. As you can see from the current listing we're covering a wide selection. Please leave a comment at the end of this posting with your recommendation. If you have contact information, then please share that with me in an email. I'm making no promises, but I'll work hard to make it successful throughout the year.

Two books on leadership that I like:

1. The Art of Possibility by Benjamin Zander and Rosamund Stone Zander

2. The Contrarian’s Guide to Leadership by Steven Sample

From the Lean Insider: Speaking to Toyota employees at the Detroit Auto Show President Watanabe asked that they take responsibility for recent quality problems.

"I do not regard the problem as something that suppliers are responsible for. We must work together so that we are fully aware of where suppliers are."

Bernstein closes saying, "At Toyota, they know that doing the best job of serving the customer is what makes the company profitable."
