            The Philosophy of long term thinking, Toyota bases their management decisions on a long term philosophy. Acting this way is improving the company as a whole. “Toyota was not short term gain but looking beyond that to grow the company and do what is right for employees, customers, and society.”(liker).

Build a culture of stopping to fix problems to get quality right the first time. Toyota goes to stop their production line when there is a problem, not like Ford or GM which they counties their production line when they face a quality problem. Toyota understand when face a problem to face it in short term so it won’t appear in long term.

            Grow leaders who thoroughly understand the work, live the philosophy, and teach it to others. Toyota treats their employee’s right, and promotes them. Taking their experience and teach it to others. Toyota believes that you cannot get exceptional teams without hiring and training exceptional people.

            Toyota worked in changing people view of the company, and made them understand why Toyota is the best car, by challenging their team of getting the best cars with the best quality that fit every one. So now people all over the world trusting Toyota and they able to buy one without being scared or questioning themselves about the product and the quality.
