This is a special review of Toyota DNA for Ichiro Toyo and Jack Welch. This book, combined with the findings of Collins, the author of The Basic evergreen, concluded that:

 

To turn an ordinary enterprise into a great sustainable enterprise, what is unique is to establish and cultivate a "Level 5 leader" and establish a document culture.

 

The core of a lot of things that Zhu says in "getting out of the software Workshop" is actually a "document culture"-everything must be recorded in writing and must be a traceable accumulation of experience.

 

Today, I earnestly read the blog of Coo Wang Xinghua of 51.com, who has benefited a lot. He is a person who attaches great importance to personal records and team records. In the Internet era, the prevalence of blogs has made private records popular. Whether it is about work or not, but with the habit of recording, many people will no longer regard writing as a treasure. With the habit of writing, you will have the habit of thinking deeply. I feel it will happen. Habits form a culture. A good habit-normative record-forms the document culture of Toyota. This culture can effectively enable the business intelligence of generations of operators to inherit and flourish, and make toyota A Sustainable Enterprise. Vanke clearly put forward the slogan "Learning Toyota" and is doing its best. Vanke Weekly has been operating carefully. The influence of an internal enterprise magazine exceeded the public publishing of enterprise management publications. The main reason is that everything comes from the summary of practical experience and from a kind of research spirit that persists.

 

Let's look at Toyota. They have published the journal "Toyota management" every three months since 1958, which is decades earlier than Vanke weekly.

 

I just gave an excerpt from this section in "Toyota DNA" (I was impressed by the absence of a copy ):

 

"If you want to do a good job, you need to study and work hard at ordinary times. I deeply feel that this group of Job Management class, core practitioners, and other people with lofty ideals have aspirations, organized the Toyota management reader Club (subsequent Research Conference) in February 7, 1955 ). At the beginning, we started from subscribing to business management-related magazines, and then held lectures, seminars, and book fairs to learn about modern business management. Now we have two hundred members. The types of subscribed magazines include management, affairs and operation, factory management, management guidance, and enterprise accounting. Part of the expenses are subsidized by the company. Since the beginning of 1957, the book office management and control, published by Professor Wally, the administration of American Affairs, was held.

 

In addition, from January 1, 1958, the journal "Toyota management" will be published every three months. Through mutual research and inspiration, members aim to improve management technology.

 

The Journal of Toyota management is usually not open to the public, but will be distributed to supply manufacturers, trading manufacturers and sales companies. Therefore, I had the opportunity to read this publication several years ago. The activities of this study are really surprising!

 

After the start of the independent research conference, the event continued for nearly half a century. What's even more surprising is that the monthly layout of Toyota management is full, with the total number of pages ranging from 50 ~ Between 60 pages, the content includes management research, Survey Report, paper contribution, latest management technology introduction, seminars, workshop reports, content of casual notes, overseas documents, translation reports of overseas materials, summaries of internal and external company speeches, various companies sell, produce trend materials, reader world, short book ratings, etc. Of course, management research, paper contribution, and the latest introduction to management technology are the main topics. No matter what one is, the content is full and the quality is very high ."
