Don't find fault, find a remedy.
About this quote
The full text of this remark, as it appears in Ford's My Philosophy of Industry (1929) — a book based on a series of authorised interviews — reads: "Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain." The 1929 book was an expansion of Ford's practical philosophy beyond the factory floor, covering topics including his views on success, progress, and the responsibilities of industry. The instruction to solve problems rather than assign blame was central to his management culture at the Highland Park and River Rouge plants.
