Terrible, Distracting Narration

What made the experience of listening to Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels the most enjoyable?

The content of the book is pretty decent, but the narration was the worst I have ever heard. Another review compared it to the computer generated audio of a 1980s computer. I think that is a pretty good description. Siri or Cortana would have sounded much more human than this actual human narrator.

How could the performance have been better?

I had my friend who is a musician listen to the audio to tell me if he knew why it sounded so bad. He guessed that the audio had been run through some sort of pitch correcting software which had the effect of making the human narrator sound like a really bad computer generated narration.

Any additional comments?

Rerecord the book and let Siri read it...

For those beginning their journey

Very high level covering many topics. Not enough details in any given topic to apply without further research or hiring a consultant. It would be a good book to help formulate a vision for a company just starting their Lean Journey,

Bland

I wish it was more entertaining. But the content was good. I would not recommend. Overall, too long as well.

Continuing to enjoy the Toyota Way series of books

All of the books I have read so far from Jeffrey Liker have been very influential on my thinking about management/leadership. The books are fantastic. I am now listening to Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels for the second time and I am continuing to pick up principles that change the way I think about lean and leadership. A big thank you to Jeffrey Liker and George Trachilis for this addition to the Toyota Way series.

great insight

this book is very insightful and details the method and importance of implementing lean leadership, servant leadership, coaching, teaching, etc.

Repetitive

A good book and very useful unless you have read the authors precious work, in which case don't bother as it is really just a summary of everything before.

Amazing read!

A jump start for emerging leaders, and a wake up call for these, who have been entangled for too long.

Clarity was revealed after reading this book.

I never saw the holes in the organizational leadership in my company until reading this book and now I feel like I have a simple path to help my organization at achieves its mission
