Not By Myself by Fletcher Jones is a candid, inspiring memoir chronicling the life and philosophy of one of Australia’s most visionary industrialists. Published in 1979, this slim yet potent volume traces Jones’s journey from humble beginnings to founding Fletcher Jones & Staff, a pioneering clothing company renowned not only for its quality garments but for its groundbreaking employee ownership model. With plainspoken warmth and conviction, Jones reflects on the values that shaped his enterprise—fairness, dignity, and shared prosperity. The title underscores his belief that success is never a solo achievement, but the result of collective effort and mutual respect. Part autobiography, part business manifesto, Not By Myself offers rare insight into postwar Australian manufacturing, ethical capitalism, and the power of principled leadership. Essential reading for collectors of Australian business history, labor reform literature, or mid-century memoirs with a social conscience.
