No. 12 on the greatest product managers list: Henry Ford — he never said the “faster horses” line, and it gets him backwards
In 1913 Ford hired 50,448 people to hold a workforce of 13,623 — 370% turnover. That same year, build time for a Model T fell from 12 hours 30 minutes to 93 minutes. Those two numbers are the same fact. Ford ranks 12th at 93.80: originality 99 and scale 99 both maxed, taste only 80 — the widest split on the board.
