Unlocking Toyota's Winning Formula | Alan Weir | Belfast Roots to Global Success

Alan Weir is a top leader at Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK.

In today's episode, we talk about:

  • His first job in Belfast Zoo Amusement park as a kid
  • Working in a seatbelt factory
  • 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!)
  • Ways he switches off from work
  • And advice he'd give to an 18-year-old version of himself.
