亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
It was the application of these same methods to the making of the Ford car that at the very start lowered the price and heightened the quality. We just developed an idea. The nucleus of a business may be an idea. That is, an inventor or a thoughtful workman works out a new and better way to serve some established human need; the idea commends itself, and people want to avail themselves of it. In this way a single individual may prove, through his idea or discovery, the nucleus of a business. But the creation of the body and bulk of that business is shared by everyone who has anything to do with it. No manufacturer can say: "I built this business"--if he has required the help of thousands of men in building it. It is a joint production. Everyone employed in it has contributed something to it. By working and producing they make it possible for the purchasing world to keep coming to that business for the type of service it provides, and thus they help establish a custom, a trade, a habit which supplies them with a livelihood. That is the way our company grew and just how I shall start explaining in the next chapter.

白话
福特说，把同样的方法用在造车上，一开始就降低了价格、提高了质量。一个生意的核心可能只是一个想法：发明家或有心的工人想出更好的办法满足人们已有的需求，大家觉得好、愿意用，这个人就成了生意的起点。但生意的壮大是每个参与者共同完成的。没有哪个制造商能说“这生意是我一个人建的”，因为需要成千上万人帮忙。这是共同产物，每个员工都出了力。他们工作生产，让顾客持续来买这种服务，从而形成一种习惯、一门生意，也养活了自己。
