亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
The underlying causes of poverty, as I can see them, are essentially due to the bad adjustment between production and distribution, in both industry and agriculture--between the source of power and its application. The wastes due to lack of adjustment are stupendous. All of these wastes must fall before intelligent leadership consecrated to service. So long as leadership thinks more of money than it does of service, the wastes will continue. Waste is prevented by far-sighted not by short-sighted men. Short-sighted men think first of money. They cannot see waste. They think of service as altruistic instead of as the most practical thing in the world. They cannot get far enough away from the little things to see the big things--to see the biggest thing of all, which is that opportunist production from a purely money standpoint is the least profitable.

白话
在我看来，贫困的根本原因主要是工业和农业中生产与分配之间、动力源与应用之间的不良调整。这种调整不当造成的浪费是巨大的。所有这些浪费都必须让位于致力于服务的明智领导。只要领导层更看重金钱而非服务，浪费就会继续。浪费是由有远见的人而非短视的人防止的。短视的人首先考虑金钱。他们看不到浪费。他们认为服务是利他的，而不是世界上最实际的事情。他们不能远离小事看到大事——看到最大的事情，即从纯粹金钱角度出发的机会主义生产是最不赚钱的。
