This holistic approach, and its validation by world-class results, make Ford's original work the best business leadership book ever written. \u003cb\u003eThe Expanded and Annotated My Life and Work: Henry Ford's Universal Code for World-Class Success\u003c\/b\u003e updates this original with modern perspectives that explain and organize Ford's thought process explicitly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy Life and Work\u003c\/em\u003e is not a mechanistic or industry-specific formula that practitioners can follow like work instructions in a factory, but rather a holistic synergy of impartial laws of economics, science, and human behavior--a synergy that Ford called the \u003ci\u003euniversal code. \u003c\/i\u003eThis universal code simultaneously delivered high profits, high wages, and low prices in every industry to which Ford applied it. It also realized unprecedented improvements in industries ranging from coal mines to railroads, and even healthcare as practiced in the Henry and Clara Ford Hospital. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis annotated edition introduces Ford's universal code along with vital economic, behavioral, Lean manufacturing, and customer service principles. It contains almost all the material of the original, plus more than 30 percent new content that reinforces Ford's timeless principles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders who understand and internalize Ford's universal code can easily overcome the self-limiting paradigms that afflict today's organizations. These include, for example, the belief that healthcare is a zero-sum game in which escalating costs are the price of quality. The book illustrates the basic elements of what is now called the Toyota Production System as well as the organizational and human relations principles needed to gain buy-in and engagement from all participants.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam A.
