About Mary Parker Follett

Mary Parker Follett (1868-1933) was a visionary in the field of human relations, democratic organization, and management. Born and raised in Massachusetts, in 1892 she entered what would become Radcliffe College, the women's branch of Harvard. She graduated from Radcliffe summa cum laude in 1898.

Comprehensive List of Follett Citations?

Hi All - I've been wondering whether it would be helpful to have a comprehensive list of every place in which Follett has been cited - every book, article, presentation, etc. In fact, I've started creating it as a GoogleDoc and wanted to open it up to everyone here to add to until it's as close to "complete" as possible. But I wonder if it's value would be minimal now that we have GoogleScholar that can provide rich sources of citations (although doesn't give you a single handy list). Thoughts?…See More

Albie Davis

Hi All - I just came across this obituary for Albie Davis. Apparently she passed away in late April. She was a leading voice for bringing attention to Follett's work and philosophy over the past few decades. https://www.davisofboston.com/obituary/Albie-DavisSee More

Chapter Addition

Dr. Jeff Schippmann and I have written a chapter about M. P. Follett to be included in a forthcoming book about "great thinkers" in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The book is being published by Routledge, and should be available later this year. It's a short piece, and it speaks very favorably of her life and work. I doubt we can share it without the publisher's permission, but I will inquire.Regards, M.D. SmalleySee More
