The Follett Papers

The Follett Papers refer to a collection of writings and ideas from Mary Parker Follett, an early 20th-century management theorist. Follett emphasized the importance of collaboration and the human aspect of organizations. She introduced concepts such as "power with" instead of "power over," promoting shared authority and teamwork. Her work laid the groundwork for modern management practices, focusing on leadership, conflict resolution, and the involvement of employees in decision-making. Follett’s insights are still relevant today in understanding organizational dynamics and effective management strategies.
