Yep, the same Henry Ford. I don't want to point an accusining finger at any
of them. But they each seemed to be ruled by a body of ideas about efficient
management that had noticeable points in common with the others. Today there
doesn't seem to be much in print about their ideas. For example a lot of
Hitler and Lenin sounds like a rationale for grabbing power but I'll be
darned if I know what part of that personal philosophy they actually believed.
Consider, Ford met Edison before he had built his first car. He
worked for Edison's company. Edison talked to him, heard out his ideas about
a car and then he encouraged Ford to go ahead. Later when Ford was
successful he took time to spend part of his summers camping and talking to
Edison.
Other stories about Ford makes the above sound very unlikely.
