	Mary Parker Follett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Follett was born into an affluent Quaker family in Massachusetts and spent much of her early life there.
		Follett suggested that organizations function on the principle of power "with" and not power "over." She recognized the holistic nature of community and advanced the idea of "reciprocal relationships" in understanding the dynamic aspects of the individual in relationship to others.
		Follett advocated the principle of integration, "power sharing." Her ideas on negotiation, power, and employee participation were influential in the development of organizational studies.

		Mary Parker Follett was born in 1868 in Quincy, Massachusetts to a Quaker family.
		In 1925, Mary Parker Follett was launched as a lecturer and consultant in Management when she was invited to present her core work "The Psychological Foundations of Business Administration" to business executives at the prestigious annual conference of the Bureau of Personnel Administration in New York.
		Mary Parker Follett was considerably more alert to the practical realities of relationships in organizations and their impacts on the dynamics of the whole than any of her contemporaries in management studies.

	Mary Parker Follett and informal education
		Later Mary Park Follett was to serve as a member of the Massachusetts Minimum Wage Board, and in 1917 she became vice-president of the National Community Center Association.
		Follett became a popular lecturer - and it could be argued that one of the reasons that her ideas found a significant response at the time was the passion and charm with which she was able to communicate her thinking.
		While Mary Parker Follett's contribution to management theory has come to be recognized, relatively little attention has been given in recent years to her work around the development of thinking and practice in the field of informal education and lifelong learning.

		Follett's appreciation of a five-year old boy's response to the Mona Lisa highlights her notion of the teacher as a life-long learner alongside her students.
		If Follett were alive today, she would undoubtedly find a way to invite all the authors contributing to the first volume of A Leadership Journal to a face-to-face gathering at her townhouse at the base of Boston's Beacon Hill or her summer retreat in Putney, Vermont.
		He begins by observing that "Mary Follett was the most highly sensitized person I have ever known," He then traces her New England intellectual roots and the timeless nature of her thinking.

	Mary Parker Follett Foundation
		Mary Parker Follett (1868-1933) was a visionary and pioneering individual in the field of human relations, democratic organization, and management.
		Follett's intensive research into government while at Radcliffe was later published in her first book, The Speaker of the House of Representatives (1909), which was lauded (by, among others, Theodore Roosevelt) as the best study of this office of government ever done.
		Follett is increasingly recognized today as the originator, at least in the 20th century, of ideas that are today commonly accepted as "cutting edge" in organizational theory and public administration.

	Mary Parker Follett, Prophet of Management: A Celebration of Writings from the 1920s
		Although Mary Parker Follett died in 1933, her philosophy of business organization and management is echoed in companies today where quality control, employee empowerment, and more horizontal organizational structures have been adopted with impressive results.
		Since Follett wrote about the human side of management, there have been several "discoveries" that promote her essential philosophy: the participative management movement of the Fifties and Sixties, the quality-of-work movement of the Seventies, and now the network movement -- each of these moving organizations toward a new, more effective, and humane form of management.
		Presents selections from Follett's writings on business organization and management, some culled from her lectures on topics such as authority, leadership, the role of the individual in the group, and the place of business in society.

		Follett espoused the theory that business was a social institution and advocated an almost complete change of vocabulary in the business world, eliminating terms like grievance and complaints since such words led to automatic negative reactions.

		Mary Parker Follett was one of the pioneers in the scholarly study of management.
		Follett writes in an energized, rapid-fire style, peppering her prose with examples from practice ranging from department stores, settlement houses, and the telephone company, to the League of Nations and jurisprudence.
		Follett calls for a new kind of social science, one that finds the social scientist focusing on the "social processes" seen as "cooperating experience" and not upon the formal system of organization.

		Clearly, Follett was not only respected by her contemporaries for her remarkable theoretical contributions, but recognized even then for the impact and reach her ideas were sure to have in future generations of scholars.
		Follett’s influence is evident in Philipsen’s original framework for predicting the likelihood of reaching an agreement; that is, that the likelihood of two parties reaching an agreement is equal to the degree of effective communication multiplied by the degree of motivation to cooperate among the parties (LA = EC x M).
		Follett biographer Joan Tonn has speculated that one of the reasons for Follett’s obscurity after her death was that her ideas were simply ahead of the times in which Follett lived.

		The argument here is that as public administration looks forward to the future of public participation, we would do well to look back to the work of a progressive era social philosopher whose ideas are remarkably prescient.
		Beyond the fact that it builds on the work of a woman (something not seen everyday in the pages of the leading public administration journals), the article is also valuable for the theoretical notions that underpin some of its practical recommendations.
		Follett is careful to argue that the success of public participation efforts depends on the citizens’ civic-mindedness and their openess to building a community (this virtuous circle model bears more than a passing resemblance to Putnam).

		The leaps in tools to "see" network connections among participants would have made her work so much more compelling and the quantum leap in the amount of connections that are possible in today's connected age would have made her very excited about the power of the self-organized nature of ad hoc project teams.
