INTRODUCTION:
Toyota Talent Developing Your People the Toyota Way by Jeffrey K. Liker and David Meier was written after two prior published books regarding Toyota Company’s management- The Toyota Way and The Toyota Way Fieldbook. The authors decided to come up with this third installment of the Toyota series book because of the intention of explaining in details the 4P model of excellence (philosophy, people, problem solving and process) that was introduced in the previous books.

There are broad subjects to study and train in health care set-up and this kind challenge is very common but good thing that lessons and teachings must be given in small succession and prioritization must be observed. Thought it is not easy as it is written but at least a strategy to counter this problem was already framed in this book. Secondly, struggle on training when time is limited also comes. What did the writers observed Toyota on taking care of this? To be effective with a limited amount of time, the trainers should identify right away, simple, entry-level work that can be learned quickly and they should be the first ones to be given to the people (Liker & Meier, 2007, p.265). Again, what is emphasized here is the prioritization technique. How about the jobs that require special skills, this is the third one and this is visible to any medical settings as it also has different parts like the human anatomy. I mean one person is dealing with heart, another is dealing with brain, one is keen to the skin and so on and so forth.
