Unabridged Audiobook
This little chapter showcasing some of Ford's thought processes needs a context in order to comprehend more precisely the point of the writing. It reads like an orphaned section belonging to a greater whole. There are some interesting quotes and ideas that may still be relevant about the employer-employee relationship but in general the writing feels dated and disconnected. Certainly not worth $14 for 29 minutes.
I was prepared not to like this book (its really more of an essay) but believe it is good to expose oneself to ideas that are challenging... He made some very good points and I was impressed with how committed he was to providing work for people of all abilities and the dignity that inheres in earning a wage rather than receiving charity.
Well worth the short investment in time. I was impressed with Henry Fords demand for safety, cleanliness and quality in the workplace. I know a few politicians that could benefit from Mr. Fords simple business practices.
This was extremely informative because it gives some of the same procedures of safety, personal performance, and equipment operation.
Great narrating and interesting subject. Definitely worth the time.
This is a fascinating piece. It's easy to listen to and gives an unexpected insight into a deep and profound mind. There is a lot more to Mr. Ford than I think almost anyone would expect. It's not just an excellent commentary on industrial efficiency but ethics and provides a picture that seems to have been lost in the shuffle concerning how business can be in harmony with a community rather than at odds with it. More people need to read this in our times. Thanks Thought Audio!
