Brief Follett biography?

Besided the Introduction to Dynamic Administration (or Wikipedia), does anyone know of a good short biography of MPF?

Hi Peter,

WELCOME: John Hoan Sarvey, MPF Network member, posted his thesis on our network, and it can be found as an attachment in the forum section under Follett Writings: Articles, PhD theses, Research, etc. Everyone invited to contribute! 10 Replies See the title below. I found it very interesting and pretty accurate as I understand her life. Early bios have some mistakes, including the intro to Dynamic Administration, my own Follett article in the Negotiation Journal of 1989 included, nothing too major, but errors, nevertheless. This would be a good project. I found the Wikipedia article, as I most recently viewed it, to be pretty shallow and inaccurate. One of our members asks somewhere on the network, should we work to improve it? Glad you joined us! Albie Davis
