Recorded webinar: http://slidesha.re/1l6rOQc Subscribe: http://www.ksmartin.com/subscribe Karen’s Books: http://ksmartin.com/books As we continue to peel back the layers of the onion and uncover what's *really* at the core of The Toyota Way, we've uncovered an entirely new development need for improvement professionals and leaders alike. The key to establishing a continuous improvement culture is creating an organization of coaches and problem-solvers. In this webinar you will learn how to transition from the traditional role of "do-er" to that of facilitator and finally, to a skilled coach. No matter where you are on the spectrum, there's something for you in this webinar. Specifically, you will learn: • How "doing" for others violates Toyota's core principle of respect for people. • The difference between facilitating and coaching. • Traits and skills you need to be an effective coach. • How to roll out a development program across your organization to accelerate transformation.
