I was not always a "Henry Ford" fan. When I was young my father worked for GM and I considered Mr. Ford and his products the enemy. I worked for Ford dealerships most of my adult life and know what an outstanding company they are. I have read a lot of books about Henry Ford, but this one was a real was a real eyeopener. Today and Tomorrow surprised me. His values,common sense, relentless pursuit of success and futuristic thinking were decades ahead of his time. I would highly recommend this book.

Superb book. I bought it because in study of the Toyota Production System, it kept coming up as the source of that system. I found the book enlightening and something that really should be taught in schools - classic work from a pioneer in business systems, not just mass production or assembly lines...

This is the book that made me appreciate Mr Ford's accomplishments and how he changed the world of business, particularly manufacturing. He was a leader and true visionary in many aspects of business, which are chronicled herein, and many of the roots of Lean are documented in this text. Aside from kanban and `jelly beans', he didn't miss much of the fundamentals of what we see as Lean.

The impacts of Ford's principles on business, the economy, social ramifications, and more are profound. The ideas, thought processes, and applications are expressed well and we can learn from these today. Too bad much of the rest of American business lost sight of Ford's techniques as they became enamored with scientific formulae like EOQ (economic order quantities) without questioning the assumptions.

I as a car guy went in thinking this would be more or less a brief autobiography from boyhood to the book penning as a mogul. However it is more about his desire to enable people to live better and his and his philosophy on how to do it in his own words. His automobile empire was in part the platform. The most surprising things about this book are Mr. Fords underlying reasoning behind his philanthropy and social beliefs such as healthcare, charity, and welfare. The idea do that in the Henry Ford hospital one could not receive treatment without learning about prevention. Wellness 1st, treatment 2nd in the early 1900's instead of today's don't ask just drug and cut them.

A controversial figure in history? Yes, but extremely relevant ideas even today.
