That included educating and training orphans and at-risk youth at The Henry Ford School for Boys. He achieved the impossible equation of cutting the cost of his product in half yet improving its quality and reliability and even doubling the wages and standard of living for his people.įord also invested in the future by equipping people who had no perceivable future. Ford didn’t just revolutionize transportation, he completely transformed the way we work, the way we create, and the way we live. He turned an automobile into an industry, transformed the world of farming with a tractor, and launched the airplane into a new era of mass production. Henry Ford’s impact on industry, business, and society continues to drive us to reach for seemingly impossible goals.
