Hendry Ford’s thinking represented a logical approach to business that few of our modern business leaders can ever emulate. His vision of a car for Everyman and a living wage for his employees created the middle class and forever changed America. But the deeply flawed genius got lost in his own new world.Among the lessons you can learn from his life: Make yourself stand out. If you find a diamond, don’t throw it away. Don’t neglect opportunities, no matter how remote. Understand your weaknesses. When you do recognize your mistakes, and don’t punish the world for them.

This is a read I highly recommend.
