How do you create a culture where improvement happens every day — not just during special projects?

The secret lies in two simple patterns: Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata.

In this concise and practical guide, Dr. Mohamed H. Soliman breaks down Toyota's habit-building system for daily progress and leadership development. You'll learn:

  • How to set challenging goals and move toward them step-by-step
  • How leaders coach thinking patterns — not just give answers
  • How to turn PDCA into a daily, structured habit
  • Why building routines ("kata") is more effective than just teaching tools
  • How these methods sustain Lean thinking across all levels
  • Whether you're a manager, Lean coach, or engineer, this book gives you a clear blueprint to embed Toyota-style continuous improvement into your team — one routine at a time.

    Don't just solve problems. Build thinkers. Lead change.
