On the May 3, 2015 edition of Work with Marty Nemko, I talk with Jeff Liker who has written eight books on Toyota and the implications for our careers and for managing wisely.

And as usual, you can call in for a Workover. Whatever career problem is besetting you or someone care about, I usually can help.

Work with Marty Nemko is heard every Sunday from 11 AM to noon on 91.7 FM and is archived for a week on NPR.org and iTunes, and in perpetuity here on KALW.org.
