What are the best and worst in Henry Ford?
He would have been 150 years old; he was born 3 weeks after the battle of Gettysburg. It sad to note that the city that grew from the business he founded, Detroit, went belly up.
His positive trait: he was tenacious and stubborn and this accounted for his early success. He was talented. He believed in his own talent.
However, his belief in himself was delusional; he lost objective sense of self. He attracted great talent but also drove them away. He was insensintive.
He believe in lifelong learning; life is a never ending education; anyone who stops learning is old

ReplyDeleteI guess this is one of the best qualities and beliefs that Henry Ford possessed. I am also in a huge belief that life is a never ending thing that we should learn...everyday is new, and we should always remember the word " kaizen", which is a japanese business philosophy which means constant improvement, a consistent change that we should start in ourselves. Education on the other hand is something that is essential to an individual's sense of being as it is
his armor, shield and weapon in this deceitful world that we have.
