Tim Turner, a Toyota team member at the Georgetown, Ky., assembly plant, wanted to tell Americans about the great people who work with him at Toyota. So he decided to write a book, and he enlisted his colleagues to help him.
He began approaching fellow team members and asking them to write short stories about their experiences at Toyota. The response surprised even Turner. During one three-month period, he told the Lexington Herald-Leader, he was receiving a new story a day. Some of the stories make you cry, the paper quoted one team member as saying, and some make you laugh.
The 430-page book, "One Team on All Levels: The Story of the Toyota Team Members," sells for $15.95 on Amazon.com. Proceeds from the book’s sales go to support the plant’s team member assistance fund.
