The Kamaz Generation: Why They Dominate Rally Raid

[@nochan99]

In Japan, the youngest most inexperienced employees of companies are often encouraged to give their oppinion first in a meeting because the management recognizes that their ideas, may be more free and not tied down by established thinking. I think that is the coolest thing.

[@HANKTHEDANKEST]

Toyota was a big pioneer of that--James May did a bit where he talked to three Japanese automotive plant guys from the 1970s and three American dudes from the same era. The difference in responses was stark--the Japanese auto plant guys, even when they were young and new at the company, were always encouraged for their input, and all three agreed that they felt valued and as part of a team. The three American guys, who worked at Ford I think, told basically the opposite story: we slapped 'em together cheap, and if you had a "good idea" you kept it to yourself--you don't *talk* to the suits. That's why the Japanese killed the Americans in the auto sector: it wasn't just better cars, it was a better working culture. Always chasing improvement instead of resting on laurels.
