Jim Lentz, our Toyota North America CEO, developed his leadership style from a lesson he learned early on in his career. "Early in my career at Toyota, [my] district sales manager pulled me aside and said I was too soft on people. He wanted me to change my style and to motivate people with an iron fist. He gave me an ultimatum, on Monday, I would have to commit to making the change or find a new job. On Monday morning, I told my manager I had to be who I was and I couldn’t change that. He gave me two weeks to find another job, which I did at our corporate headquarters in California. It was a demotion and I took a pay cut, but in the end, I made the right choice. To succeed in your career—or as a company—you have to stay true to yourself and your foundational values."

Toyota is dedicated to supporting service members and veterans and our commitment spans across the company. This commitment was brought to life when Mike Groff, Toyota Financial Services President, along with our Toyota Veterans Association and Allies in Service hosted mock interview sessions for service members. Lieutenant Colonel Dale Bailey, a local service member in North Texas, heard about the event and jumped at the chance to attend. “That Toyota was partnering with Allies in Service made it a no-brainer. When I showed up and found out each participant would be doing two mock interviews and then getting feedback, that sounded like a chance to get great experience,” said Lieutenant Colonel Bailey.
