It all began with the initial chance meeting of this book’s author, Katie Anderson, and the book’s subject, Isao Yoshino. She was an American leadership coach and consultant in her mid-career, with a newfound love of Japanese culture. He was an accomplished Japanese people-centered leader at the end of his corporate career, with a lifelong love for American culture and 40 years of inside experience with the Toyota Way. During the next five years, Anderson and Yoshino spent countless hours learning from each other, reflecting on the past, and envisioning the future. The resulting book — written by Anderson and focused on the profound lessons offered by her mentor Yoshino – is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind tapestry. Much like the weaving of fabric – where the beginning work is but a glimpse of the final pattern – this book was created from many layers of intertwined conversations and reflections.
