We at Alpha Academic Press were honored to work with world renowned author Jeffrey K. Liker on the publication of Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels: A Practical Guide. This initial publication was two years in the making, extracted from his original webinars on Lean. Dr. Liker is the author of The Toyota Way, a benchmark to the teachings of the Toyota Production System. This book and his other books have sold over 1-million copies worldwide in a multitude of languages.

DEVELOPING LEAN LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS: A PRACTICAL GUIDE
In 2016 the book, Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels: A Practical Guide, authored by Jeff Liker with George Trachilis as a contributor, received the SHINGO RESEARCH AWARD. These live webinars were the inspiration behind that book. Below we see George Trachilis and Jeff Liker receive the Shingo Research Award in Washington, D.C. (2016)
The initial reaction to this publication was overwhelming which lead to translation into a number of different languages.
Soon an audio version was made available.
In 2016, we began the process of reviewing the original webinar videos from Dr. Liker. We believed the passion he projected was far too valuable to keep locked away in our vaults. We recently began publishing these actual lectures, known as the Developing Leadership Skills series. A compilation of 75 individual eReader Books, as well as Audiobooks.
