- Leaving home
- Managing a team of 40 English men in his early-twenties
- (And the leadership lessons he learned as a result)
- The powerful culture Toyota have created
- Experiencing Japan for the first time
- How a car comes of the line every 86 seconds at his factory
- (And the business principles that make that possible!)
