Question: In what way is the Toyota story an example of something mentioned in Robert Coles empowerment principles? In what does the story reflect the ideas introduced by Deming? Answer: Robert Cole has identified five principles regarding empowerment. These are firstly, to trust in people, secondly, to invest in people, thirdly, to recognize accomplishments, fourthly, to decentralize decision making and fifthly, to view the work as a cooperative effort. According to Dessler (2013), the organization Toyota has implemented all these empowerment principles of Robert Cole, thus the firm is running successfully at present. Additionally, as per the concept of Deming, the statistical process of controlling leaders helps in regulating a business. The improvement in the quality will decrease the expenses of the companies and thus it will help to increase their market share and productivity. As per LuÃÅ'ˆtge (2013), it has been found that by implementing Demings techniques, all the Japanese businesses including Toyota have seen a great success. References Dessler, G.
