How Henry Ford Would Deal With Today's Supply Chain Upheaval (The New York Times)

The automobile pioneer believed short-term interests must not squeeze out investment in a business' resilience, a lesson many companies have learned the ...

“Most of the people of the country live on wages,” Mr. Ford would write in his memoir. The advent of the assembly line had routinized the labor of making cars. Mr. Ford was adamant that the money be directed toward building out his new factory, the Rouge. “I do not believe that we should make such an awful profit on our cars,” he said on the witness stand during the ensuing trial. Paying higher wages was thus a means of protecting its dominance, said Mark J. Roe, a professor at Harvard Law School. “It’s a lot of complexity,” Ford’s chief industrial platform officer, Hau Thai-Tang, said during a recent interview. Yet in recent months, Ford has been forced to stash thousands of finished vehicles in lots scattered throughout Dearborn — Henry Ford’s hometown — waiting for the arrival of chips that can bring them to life. The F-150 pickup produced at the Rouge uses more than 800 types of chips, requiring dependence on specialists. Despite his hostility toward labor unions, he understood the value of generous wages in motivating workers. “He became more and more obsessed with controlling every aspect of his production process.” He seized a monopolistic hold on the market for affordable automobiles. He bought his own coal mines in Kentucky and Virginia, along with railroads to carry their output to his factories.

Today's 'Wordle' Word Of The Day #357 Answer And Hint: Saturday ... (Forbes)

Saturday is one of the few days of the week that uses a Roman god's name instead of a Germanic/Norse god's name as its root. Saturday—Saturn's day.

And hey, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. The gander stands alone. It eliminated a lot of letters and since I had free reign to guess my second word with a clean slate, I was able to guess chose and get the last three letters in green. I was right. I honestly can’t remember the last one. If anyone gives you crap about needing to take a shower just tell them you’re perfectly civilized, as were the Vikings, and you’re merely waiting for lørdag to take a bath.

Today's CEOs Don't Just Lead Companies. They Lead Ecosystems. (Harvard Business Review)

Today's CEOs are operating in a new landscape, with society and business becoming more intertwined and a broader group of stakeholders registering their ...

This is the type of talent that will allow a CEO the time and space to elevate in place and architect both enterprise and ecosystem strategy. Almost all are signing up to navigate a messy set of social and political interests with the potential to disappoint and even alienate some stakeholders. The lines have permanently blurred, and chief executives must embrace the opportunity to help shape our shared future — as enterprise leaders who are moving across and beyond — to influence entire ecosystems. The same is true for the CEO and the broader ecosystem in which she operates, which is why she must seek to understand: - The ability to balance stakeholder needs, seeking opportunities to generate shared value and to turn competitors into collaborators. CEOs and non-corporate leaders are partnering to fill the void with a superlayer that sits above individual entities and helps to coordinate, if not govern, the efforts of an ecosystem. Industry coalitions, public-private partnerships, and various societal movements are springing up and looking to CEOs for leadership. If CEOs are to deliver against their new job description, they must become a different type of CEO: an enterprise leader who also stewards the ecosystem in which their business operates, including customers, suppliers, partners, competitors, governments, and their local community. It could be a shared interest or a shared pain point, but more and more, it’s a shared purpose, with companies desiring to enter into mission-driven partnerships that advance business objectives while serving the greater good. Many CEOs have already gotten better at building an empowered network of leaders, a necessity during Covid, when the pace and volume of change required faster decision making than perhaps ever before. If CEOs are going to move beyond their traditional remits, they need a team that can embrace bigger roles — seasoned talent who have been groomed to not only lead their functions but to be enterprise leaders. Today’s challenges, from the pandemic to ESG to ongoing efforts to address racial inequity, have only woven business and society more tightly together.

What's cooking today: Camembert Rouge (Daily Maverick)

I have called this dish Camembert Rouge because of all the intense ruby hues of the balsamic glaze, the poached pears and the caramelised onion and cranberries.

Serve the pears with the rest of the reduced fortified wine, and the red onion and cranberry relish on the side. Top with toasted flaked almonds and drizzle with a little of the glaze from the pears. Peel the pears and put them snugly in a pot just big enough to hold them, with the fortified wine. Poach them on a gentle heat, turning with two wooden spoons so that they cook and take on colour evenly, until just tender. Reduce on a moderate heat until the onions are cooked and the liquid has become an insanely syrupy, sticky sauce. This recipe pairs perfectly with this column about Camembert and its older sibling, Brie.
