The railroads in general have broken down, and if the former conduct of the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton is any criterion of management in general there is no reason in the world why they should not have broken down. Too many railroads are run, not from the offices of practical men, but from banking offices, and the principles of procedure, the whole outlook, are financial--not transportational, but financial. There has been a breakdown simply because more attention has been paid to railroads as factors in the stock market than as servants of the people. Outworn ideas have been retained, development has been practically stopped, and railroad men with vision have not been set free to grow.

白话
福特认为,铁路整体出了问题,而底特律、托莱多与艾恩顿铁路以前的管理方式就是个典型样本,照那样管理,不出问题才怪。太多铁路不是由懂实际运营的人来管,而是由银行办公室来管;决策原则和整个视角都是金融的,不是运输的。铁路垮掉,根本原因是大家更把它当成股票市场的因素,而不是人民的服务者。过时的观念被保留,发展几乎停滞,有远见的铁路人也被束缚住,没法成长。
上下文
福特在书中批评当时美国铁路普遍由金融资本主导管理,忽视运输服务本身,导致行业衰退。

你所在的团队或项目,是不是也被“财务指标”压过了“把事做好”本身?
