Today, I invite you to read Roy Williams Monday Morning Memo titled Sailing the Sea of Japan: http://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/?ShowMe=Home about Elizabeth Vining who tutored the Crown Prince of Japan, Akihito. Her teaching and inspiration led him to think differently and change 2,600 years of tradition in Japan. When he became Japan’s ruler, Emperor Akihito opened the minds of the Japanese people and made it possible for Edward Deming to come in and revolutionize Japanese manufacturing. It’s a fascinating story of a woman leader and I encourage you to read the memo through the link above.
