Henry Ford

He achieved this by sponsoring the development of the assembly line technique of mass producing cars.

This significantly influenced the automobile industry in America and enabled millions of Americans to own cars.

Following a dispute with his chief financial officer, Horch was forced to leave the company and re-establish it yet again in 1910. He could not use his last name anymore because his old company was using it, so he translated his last name, which means “hear” into Latin. And that is how Audi was born.

It was because of this that the new owner then - Billy Durant – got him fired. Durant later used the Buick Company to kick-start General Motors.

Corporate accountability at its best.

Bro. Henry Ford may have been an innovative engineer, but he was a bad Mason. He never cared about staff welfare and would have ran the Ford Motor Corporation aground with his unwillingness to ditch the model T. Henry Ford was Harry Benneth's thumbscrew. But for Henry Ford II who was Ford Motor Corporation's saving grace, the company would have faded to Walter Chrysler's and William Durant's willingness to give the American populace what they craved for.

Quite insightful.

This is the main reason why I hate taking a company public. You'll become an employee in the same company you struggled to build but with big risks comes bigger money.

I know Africans cannot make the list.

Keep your company private, they won't hear

You basically create unnecessary rooms for tension in the society

That is nearly all the known names in the car industry!

All should take note that being a skilled person on the field does not equate to managerial skills.

Not all dreamers can be managers like Joseph.
